According to Herzberg's research, which factor leads to high job satisfaction?

AResponsibility

BWorking conditions

CSalary

DSecurity

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

According to Herzberg's research, job satisfaction and dissatisfaction are influenced by two different sets of factors: motivators and hygiene factors. Motivators are factors that lead to high job satisfaction and motivation, such as achievement, recognition, responsibility, advancement, and growth. Hygiene factors are factors that do not cause satisfaction, but can cause dissatisfaction if they are absent or inadequate, such as working conditions, salary, security, and supervision. Therefore, responsibility is a motivator that leads to high job satisfaction.

I’m leaning towards responsibility being the right answer, but I could see how security might play a role too.

I’m a bit confused. Wasn’t salary considered a hygiene factor too? I feel like it’s not the main driver of satisfaction.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think working conditions were more about hygiene factors rather than satisfaction.

Okay, let me see. Herzberg's two-factor theory says that things like salary and working conditions are hygiene factors that prevent dissatisfaction, but don't necessarily lead to high satisfaction. I think the motivator factors are what increase satisfaction, so I'll go with A.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure on this one. I know Herzberg looked at motivators and hygiene factors, but I can't remember which one specifically leads to high satisfaction. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm drawing a blank on the details of Herzberg's research. Was it responsibility or working conditions that he found to be the key satisfier? I'll have to make an educated guess on this one.

This seems like a straightforward question about network defense-in-depth. The key is to identify the layer of defense that the security measures described in the question are targeting.

This is a tough one, but I'm going with A) Responsibility. Feeling like you have control over your work is the key to job satisfaction, not just a big salary. Though a big salary wouldn't hurt, am I right?

Hmm, I'm torn between A) and B). Working conditions are pretty important too, especially if you have to deal with a terrible office layout and outdated equipment.
