Answer 1

Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory suggests that to motivate people, it is important to provide **Option A: The right environment**. According to Herzberg, factors that lead to job satisfaction (motivators) and factors that lead to job dissatisfaction (hygiene factors) are separate and must be addressed in order to properly motivate employees. A positive work environment helps fulfill employees' needs for growth, achievement, and recognition, which are key to motivation.
