➤ Why is increasing pay and benefits not considered job enrichment by Herzberg?
Because pay and benefits are hygiene factors that prevent dissatisfaction but do not create intrinsic motivation. Herzberg identified motivators—achievement, recognition, responsibility, advancement, and meaningful work—that produce satisfaction. Raising salary can improve short-term morale, but it does not substitute for redesigning work to provide deeper engagement and long-term motivation.
