Motivation Factors
Job satisfaction is produced by building motivation factors into a job, according to Herzberg. This process is as job enrichment. In the original research, the motivation factors were identified as responsibility, achievement, recognition, advancement, and the work itself. when these factors are present, they lead to superior performance and effort on the part of job incumbents. Figure 5.3 also shows that salary is a motivational factor in some studies. Many organizational reward systems now include other financial benefits, such as stock options, as part of an employee's compensation package. A long -term study of young men in the United States and west Germany found job satisfaction positively linked to earnings and changes in earnings, as well as voluntary turnover.
