Which of the following is not a hygiene agent according to Frederick Herzberg theory?

According to Herzberg’s two-factor theory of motivation, there are two sets of factors that influence

job satisfaction: hygiene factors and motivators. Hygiene factors are those job factors that are

essential for existence of motivation at workplace, but do not lead to positive satisfaction for long-

term. They are also called dissatisfiers or maintenance factors, as they are required to avoid

dissatisfaction. Hygiene factors include pay, company policies, fringe benefits, physical working

conditions, status, interpersonal relations, and job security. Motivators are those factors that yield

positive satisfaction and enhance motivation. They are inherent to work and relate to self-growth

and self-actualization. Motivators include recognition, sense of achievement, growth, responsibility,

and advancement. The chance to excel is a motivator, not a hygiene factor, according to Herzberg’s

theory. Reference: Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory Of Motivation-Hygiene - Simply
