Answer 1

The answer is - Becomes less dissatisfied and his or her motivation is unaffected

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Fredrick Herzberg performance, recognition, job status, responsibility and opportunities for growth fall under Motivators or Satisfiers. While Hygiene factors or Dissatisfiers are about salary, secondary working conditions, the relationship with colleagues, physical work place and the relationship between supervisor and employee.

According to his research, he concluded that taking away the dissatisfaction factor does not necessarily mean that employees will be satisfied and to motivate a team using motivation factors the hygiene factors need to be taken care of first. Motivating a team means working on things that bother them and things that they complain about.

Taking away or reducing dissatisfaction does not also guarantee that their motivation will increase. However, when dissatisfaction is taken away then the organisation can focus on motivating employees effectively.

Therefore, an improved salary and working condition will decrease dissatisfaction but the employees motivation will still be unaffected.
