Theory behind motivation-

HERZBERG- 2-factor theory. These are split into the motivators and hygiene & maintenance.

Motivators= Herzberg theorized that responsibility, recognition of good work and direct motivation are all motivators. This means that they all directly motivate people to work harder.

Hygiene & maintenance= Herzberg theorized that good working conditions, job security and a work policy were all to do with ensuring that employees are working for the company to the best of their ability. These all mean that they can de-motivate employees if not present but these are not used to actually motivate people.

Herzberg would suggest that motivators are used to motivate whereas hygiene and maintenance factors are used to ensure hard work is produced.
