## Hertzberg two factor model

* Proposed by Frank Hertzberg
* Asked people to describe situations when they felt really good and really bad about their jobs.
* There are a set of factors in the workplace that cause satisfaction.
* And a seperate set of factors that cause dissatisfaction.
* Remedying the causes of dissatisfaction will not create satisfaction

* Working conditions
* Co-worker relations
* Policies and rules
* Supervisor quality
* Base wage,salary

### Job satisfaction

* Achievement
* Recognition
* Responsibility
* Work itself
* Advancement
