Page 34. The balance of motivators and hygiene factors Hertzberg reach search cause motivators. Motivation factors, including challenging, work, recognition, responsibility, and personal growth. Feelings that you are making a meaningful contribution to work arise from intrinsic conditions of the work itself. Motivation is much less about external prodding or stimulation, and that’s more about what’s inside of you, and inside of your work.

In the book

Learn to tell your intrinsic motives from your extrinsic ones, and lean, wherever you can, on the intrinsic. The real motivators, the researchers found, are the intrinsic conditions of the work itself — challenge, recognition, responsibility, and the feeling of meaningful contribution — far more than the external "hygiene" factors like pay and conditions, which only breed dissatisfaction when they are lacking. And remember that motivation always demands a burst of energy, kindled by our need to belong and to feel that we matter. — Goals, Action & Defining Success (Goal/Action/Success/Motivation)
