Your fellow employees have a terrible work situation. They work in an old, run-down building with an antiquated
heating system. The work itself is tedious and the supervisor is rarely available and only shows up to give reprimands for
production shortfalls. Nobody has received a promotion in two years. The work is boring, repetitious, and unrewarding.
You have decided to try to apply Herzberg’s two-factor theory.

What action would probably most motivate the employees?

A) improving in working conditions
B) fixing the heating system
C) receiving recognition for a job well done
D) having the supervisor “hang around” more
E) relying more on punishment for poor performance
