Answer 1

In the context of workplace motivation and employee satisfaction, various factors influence an individual’s attitude toward their job.

These factors were extensively discussed in Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory, which divides work factors into hygiene factors and motivators.
Understanding these factors is essential for improving work environments and boosting employee morale.

Key Points

Hygiene factors include working conditions, status, salary, and other aspects that do not necessarily motivate employees but can cause dissatisfaction if they are inadequate.
According to Herzberg’s theory, these factors must be present at a satisfactory level to prevent dissatisfaction, but they do not lead to long-term motivation.

Hint

Maintenance: This term is not specifically used in Herzberg's theory, though it might relate to efforts to maintain or improve working conditions.
Job Context: This can refer to various environmental factors around the job, but in Herzberg's context, it is synonymous with hygiene factors..

Hence, the correct answer is hygiene factor.
