Relying on Maslow's and Herzberg's theories, describe the basic human needs that must be met in the workplace to minimize the potential for conflict

What will be an ideal response?


Herzberg refers to these basic human needs as hygiene or maintenance factors and states that these factors will not increase motivation among workers, but their absence will cause workers to become de-motivated. Essential hygiene factors in the workplace include fair and equitable policies and administration, supportive supervision, and good working conditions and interpersonal relationships. Money, status, and security are also hygiene factors to which the employer must attend.
These factors are similar to the physiological, safety and security, and acceptance needs in Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory.
