Survey Questions
Motivation includes “the processes that account for an individual’s intensity, direction, and persistence of effort toward attaining a goal”. One of the most popular early motivation theories is Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory. He highlighted two important rewards to motivate your teams:
-
Internist Rewards known as “Motivation Factors”: when an employee is satisfied, they will receive a feeling of accomplishment from performing a particular task. Intrinsic rewards contain recognition, opportunities for growth, promotional opportunities and responsibility which will create job satisfaction. These intrinsic rewards are related to job satisfaction. Herzberg called the intrinsic rewards the motivation factors as they can transfer the employee from being not satisfied to satisfied.
-
Extrinsic Rewards known as “Hygiene Factors”: are rewards an employee receives from others for performing a particular task, such as salary. Other extrinsic rewards contain the company policy, quality of supervision, job security. Extrinsic factors are related with job dissatisfaction. Herzberg called the extrinsic rewards Hygiene factors. These hygiene factors can transfer the employee from being dissatisfied to being not dissatisfied.
