Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

According to Herzberg's research, job satisfaction and dissatisfaction are influenced by two different sets of factors: motivators and hygiene factors. Motivators are factors that lead to high job satisfaction and motivation, such as achievement, recognition, responsibility, advancement, and growth. Hygiene factors are factors that do not cause satisfaction, but can cause dissatisfaction if they are absent or inadequate, such as working conditions, salary, security, and supervision. Therefore, responsibility is a motivator that leads to high job satisfaction.

I'd go with C) Salary. Who doesn't love a fat paycheck? Herzberg was clearly living in a different era.

I think the answer is A) Responsibility. Herzberg's research showed that factors related to the work itself, like responsibility, are the key drivers of job satisfaction.
