Question

julian and stella agreed that it was refreshing to work for a company that provided an excellent work environment and recognized their hard work and achievements. it was more than just good pay and job security; their supervisors wanted them to take responsibility and grow in their positions. they realized how fortunate they were to work for psi. their managements relationship with employees illustrates a company that operates a workplace based on which theory of motivation? a.) theory x b.) classical theory c.) two - factor theory d.) monetary theory

Explanation:

The two - factor theory, also known as Herzberg's motivation - hygiene theory, posits that there are two sets of factors in the workplace. Hygiene factors like pay and job security prevent dissatisfaction, while motivators such as recognition, responsibility, and growth opportunities lead to job satisfaction and motivation. The company in the scenario provides good pay and job security (hygiene factors) but also focuses on recognition, responsibility, and growth (motivators), which aligns with the two - factor theory. Theory X assumes employees dislike work and need strict supervision, the classical theory focuses on efficiency and specialization, and the monetary theory is mainly about the role of money in motivation, none of which fit the described situation as well as the two - factor theory.

Answer:

c.) Two - factor theory
