Frederick Herzberg (1923-2000), clinical psychologist and pioneer of 'job enrichment', is regarded as one of the great original thinkers in management and motivational theory.
Frederick I Herzberg was born in Massachusetts on April 18, 1923.
Herzberg was the first to show that satisfaction and dissatisfaction at work nearly always arose from different factors, and were not simply opposing reactions to the same factors, as had always previously been (and still now by the unenlightened) believed.

 Herzberg - Motivation-Hygiene Theory
Herzberg reasoned that because the factors causing satisfaction are different from those causing dissatisfaction, the two feelings cannot simply be treated as opposites of one another.
Herzberg often referred to these hygiene factors as "KITA" factors, where KITA is an acronym for Kick In The A..., the process of providing incentives or a threat of punishment to cause someone to do something.
Herzberg argues that these provide only short-run success because the motivator factors that determine whether there is satisfaction or no satisfaction are intrinsic to the job itself, and do not result from carrot and stick incentives.

 Introduction to Management - Motivation
Frederick Herzberg (considered by many to be a pioneer in motivation theory) was a US clinical psychologist who later became Professor of Management at Utah University.
Herzberg's work focused on the individual in the workplace, but it has been popular with managers as it also emphasised the importance of management knowledge and expertise.
Herzberg believed that workers get motivated through feeling responsible for and connected to their work, therefore making the work itself more rewarding.

Herzberg argues that both factors are equally important, but that good hygiene will only lead to average performance, preventing dissatisfaction, but not, by itself, creating a positive attitude or motivation to work.
This is misleading, as Herzberg argues that the absence of good hygiene factors including money, will lead to dissatisfaction and thus potentially block any attempt to motivate the worker.
Herzberg prefers us to think of money as a force which will move an individual to perform a task, but not generate any internal desire to do the task well.

Herzberg, a psychologist, proposed a theory about job factors that motivate employees.

However, the overall conclusion drawn from the research is that salary was the single most important influence on the teachers' decisions to participate in TCLP, regardless of level in the organization.

Herzberg's doctoral degree is from the University of Pittsburgh in clinical psychology with an emphasis in physiology.
Moreover, although Herzberg would be in sharp disagreement with the Harvard and NTL strands on specific issues, in general he would relate better to these groups than would most industrial psychologists at the time who were focused on selection and measurement, fatigue studies, attitude measurement, and wage and salary administration (Winslow, 1997a).
Herzberg found that most people don't ascribe to the notion popularized on bumper stickers, "He who dies with the most toys wins." From his medical training, Herzberg learned that humans are the only creatures known to be aware that they are time bound.
