Various questions have been raised as to the best way to motivate employees. However, answers given only raised a cause for movement and not motivation (Herzberg, 1987). Considering how relevant employees have become in this Globalisation era which has heralded perfect competition, it therefore imperative that the major cause of motivation is identified and applied (Bourantas, 1999). Owing to this quagmire, (Herzberg, 1987) therefore postulated a two-factor theory which he called motivator and hygiene factor.
However, the objective of this dissertation was based on measuring motivator and hygiene factors in Boots plc, Victoria. This research therefore explored various literatures on work motivation. The motivator factors measured were Achievement, Recognition, Work Itself, Responsibility, Advancement and Growth while the Hygiene factors measured were Company policies and administration, Supervision, Relationship with supervisor, Working conditions, Salary, Relationship with peers, Personal life, Status and Job security. 50 samples were chosen consisting of the employees at Boots Victoria and questionnaires were given to them. To counter check the result, an interview was done with 2 managers. This dissertation employed a deductive approach and a positivist stance was taken with a perfect consideration of all ethical issues to avoid harm to participant.
After thorough examination of the motivator-hygiene factors, it was deduced that motivator and hygiene factors were not adequately in use in Boots plc which has given rise to de-motivation of employees. However, recommendations have been given to improve on the factors that caused de-motivation.
