The model is also called motivation hygiene theory. There are two distinct aspects of the motivation hygiene theory. The first and more basic part of the model represents a formally stated theory of work behaviour. The second aspect of Herzbers's work has focused upon the behavioural consequences of job enrichment and job realization programmes.
According to Herzberg, satisfaction and dissatisfaction are not opposite poles of one dimension, they are two separate dimensions, Satisfaction is affected by motivations, and dis-satisfaction by hygiene factors. To achieve motivation, managers should cope with both satisfiers and dissatisfiers, improve hygiene factors. Dissatisfaction is removed from the mind of employees. A favourable frame of mind is now created for motivation. It provides satisfaction, and motivation will take place. Managers should be realistic and should not except motivation by only improving the 'hygienic' work environment.
