hygiene factors

Explanation:

Herzberg's two factor theory divides how a company and its employees interact. He divided the employee-employer relationship in two factors:

the motivators: factors that motivate employees to perform better and work harder. hygiene factors: factors that demotivate employees and if they didn't exist, the employees would actually work harder and be more motivated.

Herzberg believed in a democratic approach to management and that improving the job context would empower employees to start making their own decisions and perform better.
