According to Herzberg’s two-factor theory, individuals are swayed by two factors, satisfaction which is the outcome of the motivator factor, whereby individuals who work are generally satisfied by their job. The second factor is the hygiene factor, which if inadequate will result into individuals becoming dissatisfied by their job.Employees can be more satisfied to work if they are continually being offered support so that they are able to direct themselves, which in return will act as self-motivation for them to work more efficiently and overall increase their self-esteem. I will be talking about all the motivational theories which influence the employees of an organisation to work harder.
