There are some people who are lazy and lack initiative who would not be productive in this environment. Most who follow these two theories will use a combination of both with varying degrees depending on the situation. Under this theory, people are willing to put forth greater effort if the perceived value of the reward is high enough for their effort and there is a reasonable probability of success. No matter how high the perceived value of the reward, this theory will not work if the individual has not chance of being successful. According to this theory, some motivators are recognition, promotion, responsibility, and the work itself.
People like to be recognized for the work they do.
Promotions are rewards for doing a job well, and people will work toward promotions. A sense of responsibility makes people feel important. Since people like to feel important, according to Herzberg's theory people will be motivated to do more to gain added responsibility. No matter how significant these factors are, people will never be motivated without having enjoyable work to do. These include low salary, unsatisfactory supervisors, and poor working conditions.
