Hygiene and Motivation
Captions available
The idea
The book borrows Frederick Herzberg's distinction: pay is a hygiene factor, whose absence breeds dissatisfaction, while recognition is a motivator, whose presence builds commitment.
In practice
A well-paid employee leaving anyway, because no one ever said what her work was worth.
Where people slip
The book's claim that people rarely leave over pay alone is its own reading of the turnover research, not a cited finding.
