Question

1. If you are happy with accomplishment of a task being its own reward, you may have a high need for achievement. 
2. Those with a high need for affiliation may not be the most efficient managers because they resist making decisions that make others resent them. 
3. In Herzberg's theory, the lower-level needs are known as security factors, and the higher-level needs are called motivating factors. 
4. According to Herzberg's two-factor theory, a worker's salary is not a possible source of job satisfaction. 

Answer 1

1. TRUE
If you (or an employee) are happy with accomplishment of a task being its own reward, don't mind or even prefer working alone, and are willing to take moderate risks, then you probably have a high need for achievement.
2. TRUE
If you tend to seek social approval and satisfying personal relationships, you may have a high need for affiliation. In that case, you may not be the most efficient manager because at times you will have to make decisions that will make people resent you. Instead, you will tend to prefer work, such as sales, that provides for personal relationships and social approval.
3. FALSE
In Herzberg's theory, the hygiene factors are the lower-level needs, the motivating factors are the higher-level needs.
4. TRUE
In Herzberg's theory, the lower-level needs, hygiene factors, are factors associated with job dissatisfaction. These include salary, working conditions, interpersonal relationships, and company policy, all of which affect the job context in which people work. Motivating factors are associated with satisfaction.
