The job satisfaction studies of Herzberg (1966) and Herzberg et al. (1959) have also been applied to the study of consumer satisfaction. From Herzberg’s perspective, satisfaction with the workplace is only attained under certain conditions, and the situations that generate dissatisfaction are different. In his surveys, Herzberg asks the worker for a list of moments or circumstances during his/her work in which he/she was happy, and then requests a separate list of the situations and times when he/she was unhappy. Following an analysis of the answers, Herzberg would come up with two types of factors. The factors which he refers to as “motivating” are associated with the “exceptionally positive” responses, while those known as “hygienic” are associated with the “exceptionally negative” responses. The two types of factors are not the opposite of one another, but rather of a different nature: a condition that generates satisfaction cannot generate dissatisfaction, just as a condition associated with dissatisfaction cannot generate satisfaction. Herzberg thus upholds the notion that the two factors are independent. Nevertheless, some authors (Fournet, Distefano and Pryer, 1966; Wood and LeBold, 1970) have suggested that the methodology used by Herzberg’s group, which is similar to the critical incidents technique, could be the cause of the detected dichotomy, alleging that it generates an artificial classification of factors. Using Herzberg’s methodology, Swan and Combs (1976) claim that satisfaction regarding certain attributes is relatively important for high overall satisfaction, whereas other attributes are associated with dissatisfaction when rated low. The first group of attributes was given the name instrumental performance, and would be associated with the product’s physical features. The second group was referred to as expressive performance and would be associated with a psychological or emotional dimension of the product. Herzberg’s proposals have been applied by Crompton (2003) and Jensen (2004) in the context of the tourism sector. Whilst Crompton does not attain conclusive results, Jensen supports the hypothesis, albeit in a limited sphere of application
