Which of the following is NOT an example of a maintenance/hygiene factor in an organisation?

Question

A.
A challenging job

B.
Company policy

C.
Salary

D.
Status

Answer 1

A. A challenging job

In the context of Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory, maintenance/hygiene factors are aspects that can prevent dissatisfaction but don't necessarily motivate employees. These include company policy, salary, and status. A challenging job, on the other hand, is considered a motivator because it can lead to increased job satisfaction and engagement.
