| Abstract: | In labeling pay or money as a "mere" hygiene factor, Frederick Herzberg set off a controversy that has continued up to the present by asking: does money matter? The study, involving several hundred I/S graduates over a four-year period, measures the importance of "above-average salaries" to these graduates as they progress through the early months of their I/S careers. Initially, salary is ranked highly; but as time passes, other factors tend to crowd out salary in importance. It loses its role as a motivator and becomes a hygiene factor. |
