Question

The two-factor theory of motivation is developed by :

The correct answer is

Herzberg

The two-factor theory (motivation-hygiene theory) was proposed by Frederick Herzberg in 1959. It separates hygiene factors (salary, working conditions, supervision), whose absence causes dissatisfaction, from motivators (achievement, recognition, responsibility, the work itself), which create real satisfaction and motivation.

Maslow gave the hierarchy of needs, Frederick Taylor developed scientific management, and Carl Jung is known for analytical psychology and the introvert-extrovert typology.

Hence, the two-factor theory of motivation was developed by Herzberg.
