No..
Thats what the Herzberg theory supports ...
Herzberg says.. factors causing satisfction & those causing dissatisfaction are different.
Therefore there are two factors :
1) Hygiene Factor: absence of which leads to Dissatisfaction
2) Motivation Factors: Presence of which leads to Satisfaction.
The theory says that those factors which cause dissatisfaction, cease to have any effect on individual; once the neccesities are met. say for eg. money.. after an individual starts earning a certain amt.. (depending on his/her needs and aspirations), earning more does not make him feel motivated. where as on the other hand, if s/he was earning less than what s/he wants to earn, it will cause dissatisfaction.
On the other hand motivation factors, like recognition, responsibility leads to satisfaction in performance.
Therefore, the top brass leaves and settles for a lower salary, and higher responsibility, etc. whereas at a lower level, people are still trying to meet there hygiene factor needs, that is of enough pay, therefore, they dont leave and settle for lower salary.
