Quality of supervision

Explanation:

Herzberg's 2 factor theory included motivational factors and hygiene factors.

Motivational factors are those which enable an employees or a workers to contribute their best efforts with utmost efficiency.

Hygiene factors on the other hand convey to the contrary i. e such factors lead to a reduction in the productivity and efficiency of workers.

One of the hygiene factor specified by Herzberg is supervision as per which poor supervision or command leads to job dissatisfaction among workers.

An organization must eliminate hygiene factors so as the employees are motivated to work and contribute optimally towards attainment of organizational goals.
