<P> According to Herzberg, hygiene factors are what causes dissatisfaction among employees in a workplace . In order to remove dissatisfaction in a work environment, these hygiene factors must be eliminated . There are several ways that this can be done but some of the most important ways to decrease dissatisfaction would be to pay reasonable wages, ensure employees job security, and to create a positive culture in the workplace . Herzberg considered the following hygiene factors from highest to lowest importance: company policy, supervision, employee's relationship with their boss, work conditions, salary, and relationships with peers . Eliminating dissatisfaction is only one half of the task of the two factor theory . The other half would be to increase satisfaction in the workplace . This can be done by improving on motivating factors . Motivation factors are needed to motivate an employee to higher performance . Herzberg also further classified our actions and how and why we do them, for example, if you perform a work related action because you have to then that is classed as "movement", but if you perform a work related action because you want to then that is classed as "motivation". Herzberg thought it was important to eliminate job dissatisfaction before going onto creating conditions for job satisfaction because it would work against each other . </P> <P> According to the Two - Factor Theory there are four possible combinations: </P> <Ol> <Li> High Hygiene + High Motivation: The ideal situation where employees are highly motivated and have few complaints . </Li> <Li> High Hygiene + Low Motivation: Employees have few complaints but are not highly motivated . The job is viewed as a paycheck . </Li> <Li> Low Hygiene + High Motivation: Employees are motivated but have a lot of complaints . A situation where the job is exciting and challenging but salaries and work conditions are not up to par . </Li> <Li> Low Hygiene + Low Motivation: This is the worst situation where employees are not motivated and have many complaints . </Li> </Ol> <Li> High Hygiene + High Motivation: The ideal situation where employees are highly motivated and have few complaints . </Li>
