A simple comparison between two-factor theory and traditional viewpoint.

1. As far as employee satisfaction is concerned, the traditional view is: from satisfaction to dissatisfaction, or either satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Two-factor theory holds that employees are satisfied with incentives, and employees will not be dissatisfied without incentives; There are no health care factors, employees are dissatisfied, and there are health care factors, employees are dissatisfied.

2. Two-factor theory holds that if managers try to eliminate those factors that bring job dissatisfaction, it may bring calm, but it may not be inspiring. This practice can appease employees, but it can't motivate employees.

3. Therefore, Herzberg refers to factors such as company policy, supervision, interpersonal relationship, working environment and salary as health care factors. When these factors are available, employees are not dissatisfied, but will not bring satisfaction.

4. If we want to inspire people at work, Herzberg suggested that we should emphasize achievement, recognition, work itself, responsibility and promotion, which are all motivating factors.
