Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory identifies:
Motivators (Intrinsic factors) - Lead to job satisfaction (e.g., responsibility, recognition, growth).
Hygiene factors (Extrinsic factors) - Prevent dissatisfaction but do not create motivation (e.g., salary, work conditions).
Option A (Salary and status) - Hygiene factors that prevent dissatisfaction but do not drive motivation.
Option C (Work conditions and security) - Also hygiene factors, not motivators.
Option D (Peer relationships and personal life) - Affect job satisfaction indirectly, but are not primary motivators.
Since responsibility and advancement directly drive motivation, Option B is correct.
