Theory Summary
The theory known as motivation-hygiene was introduced by Frederick Herzberg in 1959
which illustrated the factors that help in motivating the employees to enhance organizational
performance. The theory of motivation also explains the factors that can lead to dissatisfaction
(Alston, 2017). The factors of motivation can include recognition, responsibilities, growth

management. The theory has been considered effective in the improvement of job environments
