Frederick Herzberg motivation theory shows that different factors contribute towards the satisfaction and dissatisfaction at work/job; these factors are not merely opposing reactions to the same factors as had been believed by most people. The Herzberg’s theory suggests that, man is basically born with two sets of needs. One as an animal being ‘to avoid pain’ and the other as a human ‘to grow psychologically,’ he also demonstrated it through a biblical illustration: “Adam after his expulsion from Eden having the need for food, warmth, shelter, safety, etc., – the ‘hygiene’ needs; and Abraham, capable and achieving great things through self-development – the ‘motivational’ needs.”[sky]
Other examples of Herzberg’s hygiene needs are:
a) Employee relationships with supervisors
b) Work conditions
c) Salary
d) Security
e) Office policies
f) Personal life
g) Relationship with subordinates
Whereas according to Herzberg the real motivational factors are:
a) Recognition

“Viewed within the context of the sequences of events, salary as a factor belongs more in the group that defines the job situation and is primarily a non-satisfactory”
What book is this quote from? and if you know what page. I want to quote it in my essay on Hertzberg.. was it in the motivation to work or Work and the nature of man?
