Secondly, we have to focus on creating good working conditions for job satisfaction. In the above example this can be done by rewarding the abilities of the individual and by providing recognition and feedback for his contributions. Thus, a good blend of hygiene factors and motivated factors can boost the employee’s motivation and can result in increased productivity for the
