What is maslow?Show answer
Maslow arranged needs in a hierarchy: physiological (pay for food and shelter), safety (job security), social (belonging and teamwork), esteem (recognition and status) and self-actualisation (achieving potential). A business should meet lower needs first, then offer higher-level rewards to keep motivating staff.
What is herzberg?Show answer
Herzberg distinguished hygiene factors (pay, conditions, supervision) that prevent dissatisfaction but do not motivate, from motivators (achievement, recognition, responsibility, the work itself) that genuinely drive effort. The lesson is that improving the work itself, not just pay, is what motivates.
