Herzberg's Model

Motivated

The internal drive or condition that prompts an individual to act or behave in a particular way towards achieving certain goals or fulfilling needs.

Fringe Benefits

Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
Herzberg's motivator-hygiene model suggests that employees are motivated by intrinsic factors such as meaningful work, recognition, and growth opportunities (motivators), as well as extrinsic factors such as salary, working conditions, and job security (hygiene factors). While fringe benefits could be considered a hygiene factor, Herzberg's model suggests that they alone would not be sufficient to fully motivate an employee.
