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).
