Overview
Motivational theory is the ability to influence the choices people make. Herzberg’s Motivation-Hygiene Theory differentiates motivational needs into categories including needs dissatisfiers (or hygiene factors) and satisfiers (or needs motivators).
When times are tough, what will motivate you to keep moving forward?
Review the list of motivational needs:
Challenging work
Recognition for one’s achievements
Responsibility
Opportunity to do something meaningful
Involvement in decision-making
A sense of importance
A sense of positive satisfaction
Status
Job security
Salary
Benefits
Work conditions
Others
