This Study is to make an attempt to find that employees are not motivated solely by money and also employee behavior is linked to the attitudes. In 1966, Herzberg interviewed a number of people in different professionals at different levels to find out two factors:- Those factors that motivated them in workplace.
These factors were identified as factors that gave employees an incentive to work resulting in job satisfaction; they are also referred to as 'motivators'. These motivators increased the job satisfaction of the employee and further increased their efficiency.
Those factors that prevented job dissatisfaction.
In this study we are making an attempt to find out if IT professional's job satisfaction or dissatisfaction is caused by both the factors of motivation. In this study we want to find out the factors for the causes of satisfaction or dissatisfaction, or which are related to the motivator factors or to the hygiene factors. According to Herzberg, image of the company, work conditions, salary/ pay, supervision, interpersonal relations' are only hygiene factors but these can be motivating factors. The theory however does not much have a say in developing nations where hygiene factors cannot be taken into full consideration.

Abstract


This Study is to make an attempt to find that employees are not motivated solely by money and also employee behavior is linked to the attitudes. In 1966, Herzberg interviewed a number of people in different professionals at different levels to find out two factors:- Those factors that motivated them in workplace.
These factors were identified as factors that gave employees an incentive to work resulting in job satisfaction; they are also referred to as 'motivators'. These motivators increased the job satisfaction of the employee and further increased their efficiency.
Those factors that prevented job dissatisfaction.
In this study we are making an attempt to find out if IT professional's job satisfaction or dissatisfaction is caused by both the factors of motivation. In this study we want to find out the factors for the causes of satisfaction or dissatisfaction, or which are related to the motivator factors or to the hygiene factors. According to Herzberg, image of the company, work conditions, salary/ pay, supervision, interpersonal relations' are only hygiene factors but these can be motivating factors. The theory however does not much have a say in developing nations where hygiene factors cannot be taken into full consideration.
