Herzberg’s Motivator- Hygiene Theory
Every worker has two sets of needs or requirements: motivator needs and hygiene needs.
Motivator needs are associated with the actual work itself and how challenging it is.Facets: interesting work, autonomy, responsibility
Hygiene needs are associated with the physical and psychological context in which the work is performed.Facets: physical working conditions, pay, security
Hypothesized relationships between motivator needs, hygiene needs, and job satisfaction:
When motivator needs are met, workers will be satisfied; when these needs are not met, workers will not be satisfied.
When hygiene needs are met, workers will not be dissatisfied; when these needs are not met, workers will be dissatisfied.
Herzberg’s Motivator- Hygiene Theory
Two Factor Theory
Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Work Values
Intrinsic Values
Interesting work Challenging work Learning new things Making important
contributions Responsibility and
autonomy Being creative
Extrinsic Values
High pay Job security Job benefits Status in wider
community Social contacts Time with family Time for hobbies
Work Values A worker’s personal convictions about what
outcomes one should expect from work and how one should behave at work.
The most general and long-lasting feelings and beliefs people have that contribute to how they experience work.
Values can be intrinsic (i.e., related to the nature of work itself) or extrinsic (i.e., related to the consequences of work).
Work Attitudes Collections of feelings, beliefs, and thoughts
about how to behave that people currently hold about their jobs and organizations.
Compared to values, attitudes are: More specific and Not as long lasting
Specific work attitudes: Job satisfaction is the collection of feelings
and beliefs that people have about their current jobs.
Organizational commitment is the collection of feelings and beliefs that people have about their organizations as a whole.
Work Moods How people feel at the time they actually perform their
jobs.
More transitory than values and attitudes.
Can generally be categorized as positive or negative.
Determining factors:
Personality, Work situation, Circumstances outside of work
Potential Consequences of Job Satisfaction
Performance: Satisfied workers are only slightly more likely to perform at a higher level than dissatisfied workers. Satisfaction is most likely to affect work
behaviors when workers are free to vary their behaviors and when a worker’s attitude is relevant to the behavior in question.
Absenteeism: Satisfied workers are only slightly less likely to be absent than dissatisfied workers.
Turnover: Satisfied workers are less likely to leave the organization than dissatisfied workers.
Advice to Managers
Do not assume that most workers have strong intrinsic work values just because you do.
Realize that any attempt you make to improve attitudes, motivation, or performance will be most effective when the change you implement is consistent with workers’ values.
Make the work environment pleasant and attractive to help promote positive moods.
