Recognition for a job well done

Challenging work

Opportunities for advancement
How to approach this question
Remember that hygiene factors relate to the *context* of the job (pay, conditions), while motivators relate to the *content* of the job (achievement, recognition).
Full Answer
B.Base salary✓ Correct
In Herzberg's theory, Hygiene factors (like salary, company policy, working conditions) prevent dissatisfaction but do not motivate. Motivators (like recognition, achievement, responsibility) actually drive employees to work harder.
Common mistakes
Assuming salary is a motivator because people want money.
