  Herzberg, Gerhard on Encyclopedia.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Applying spectroscopic study to astronomy, he succeeded in analyzing and matching the spectrum of the CH ion with a previously unidentified spectrum from outer space, pioneering the analysis of stars, planetary atmospheres, and interstellar matter by spectrographic technology.
Herzberg received the 1971 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for research into the electronic structure and geometry of molecules, particularly free radicals, which had important implications in such diverse fields as astrophysics, biology, chemistry, medicine, and physics.
The NRC established the Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics in Ottawa in his honor in 1975.

 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.

 In Memoriam - G. Herzberg
Herzberg attended the main Gymnasium in Hamburg with a scholarship, and was blessed with excellent teachers who instilled in him a love of astronomy, other branches of science, and mathematics.
Herzberg was joined by Alex Douglas, his best student from the University of Saskatchewan, shortly thereafter by Donald A. Ramsay, Hin Lew, and Cecil C. Costain, and then a little later by Boris P. Stoicheff, all with interests and expertise in different regions of the spectrum.
Herzberg had so far performed extensive precision determinations of the properties of over thirty free radicals among which are to be found the radicals methyl and methylene -- well known from organic chemistry.

Herzberg was a prisoner in Bergen-Belsen from 11 January 1944 (when he arrived on a transport from Westerbork) to 10 April 1945; fascinatingly, the translator arrived on the same transport and also left Bergen-Belsen on the same day as Herzberg.

 Herzberg, Judith
Judith Herzberg is one of the most famous living poets in the Netherlands; a selection of her work, in the form of a Rainbow Pocket, published in 1994, reached what was for poetry an exceptionally large audience.
Herzberg masters the art of making things in which others do not find anything poignant — a car, cutlery, a mouse, a postcode — perform a heart-rending dance in her words.
Herzberg also writes for the theatre and for films, and in her poetry this influence is clearly recognisable in her sharp portrayal of characters and human relations.

 frederick herzberg motivational theory, motivators and hygiene factors, free herzberg diagrams
Herzberg's work, originally on 200 Pittsburgh engineers and accountants, has become one of the most replicated studies in the field of workplace psychology.
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's theory thus posits that there are two classes of factors that influence employee motivation; intrinsic factors and the extrinsic factors.
Fundamental to Herzberg's position is the notion that motivation is a result of personal growth and is based on an innate need to grow.

 Herzberg's Theory of Motivation and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. ERIC Digest.
Herzberg, a psychologist, proposed a theory about job factors that motivate employees.

According to Bellott and Tutor (1990), the problems with Herzberg's work are that it occurred in 1959--too long ago to be pertinent--and did not cover teachers.

Herzberg's spectroscopic studies not only provided experimental results of prime importance to physical chemistry and quantum mechanics but also helped stimulate a resurgence of investigations into the chemical reactions of gases.
He discovered the spectra of certain free radicals that are intermediate stages in numerous chemical reactions, and he was the first to identify the spectra of certain radicals in interstellar gas.
Herzberg also contributed much spectrographic information on the atmospheres of the outer planets and the stars.
