Similarities (Comparison)
- Both use a hierarchical scale where one stage must first be fully or largely completed before
advancing to the next stage.
- Both are based on the-argument that "we behave as we do because we are attempting to
fulfill internal needs." (Bartol et al., 2005) i.e. needs theory
- They both specify the criteria as to what motivates people. However, this is controversial
because entrepenuers and people from different cultures have different values and norms, and
therefore have different criteria or have criteria which are percieved as more important e.g.
Greek and Japanese employees stated that safety and physiological needs are more important
to them, where as employees from Norway and Sweden saw belongingness needs as being
more important.
- Herzberg's hygiene idea corresponds with Manslow's Physiological, Safety and
Belongingness needs i.e. they both have the same critieria (basic pay, work conditions etc...)
- Also, Herzberg's motivators idea corresponds with Manslow's Esteem and Self-Actualisation
needs i.e. they both have the same criteria (recognition, growth, achievement etc.
- Both theories are influenced by environmental conditions, employee attitudes and as a result,
their motivation. These influence an employees performance.
Differences (Contrast)
- Maslow says that each stage of the 5 must be fully or largely completed before
advancing to the next stage however, Herzberg suggested that there were only 2 stages
(hygiene and motivators) instead of 5.
- Maslow said that fulfilling each stage is a motivator, however Herzberg said that
fulfilling the hygiene stage only results in an employee being in neutral state and that
satisfaction and motivation only comes from the 2nd stage (motivator).
