Blog Entry #11

I have just finished doing some short research on my client and stakeholders. It was concerning their age and social status. From my research I found out that those with high status jobs and large salaries are often more motivated to have social lives. These types of external factors can also influence people to choose who they will socialise with.

Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia...

Herzberg’s two-factor theory
Main article: Frederick Herzberg
Frederick Herzberg's two-factor theory, AKA intrinsic/extrinsic motivation, concludes that certain factors in the workplace result in job satisfaction, but if absent, they dont lead to dissatisfaction but no satisfaction.[6]

The factors that motivate people can change over their lifetime, but "respect for me as a person" is one of the top motivating factors at any stage of life.

He distinguished between:

Motivators; (e.g. challenging work, recognition, responsibility) which give positive satisfaction, and
Hygiene factors; (e.g. status, job security, salary and fringe benefits) that do not motivate if present, but, if absent, result in demotivation.
