    ACCA · Question 41 · Leadership and management

    True or False: According to Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory, increasing an employee's base salary will lead to long-term job satisfaction and high motivation.

    Answer options:

    A.

    True

    B.

    False

    How to approach this question

    Recall Herzberg's two factors: Hygiene (prevents dissatisfaction) and Motivators (creates satisfaction). Salary is a Hygiene factor.

    Full Answer

    B.False✓ Correct
    In Herzberg's theory, salary, working conditions, and company policy are Hygiene factors. Their absence causes dissatisfaction, but their presence only brings an employee to a neutral state. True motivation comes from Motivator factors like achievement, recognition, and the work itself.

    Common mistakes

    Assuming money is always a motivator in all theories. (It is in Taylor's, but not Herzberg's).
