Abstract
The core objective of this study is to find out the applicability of Herzberg’s Motivation-Hygiene Theory on private sector university teachers in district Peshawar. A job satisfaction questionnaire based on two dimensional variables i.e. hygiene and motivators proposed by Herzberg was developed to collect the relevant data from the respondents. It was found out that majority of the teachers expressed their “satisfaction” with hygiene variables like the nature of supervision in their universities, relations with their boss, with working conditions, and relations with co-workers. Teachers in highest number have responded to be satisfied from their relations with their coworkers as compared to other hygiene factors. Majority of teachers have also shown their satisfaction with motivators like achievement, recognition, work itself, responsibility and advancement. A significant percentage of teachers have revealed their satisfaction with achievement and work itself as compared to other motivators. This study shows dissatisfaction of teachers with policy of the university, pay they are receiving and the opportunities of growth on their job. In respect of hygiene factors, this study has yielded adverse results to the focused theory. This departure from the original theory seems to be due to socio-cultural differences in Pakistani perspective. On the other hand this study supported Motivation-Hygiene theory in respect of motivation factors. It is recommended that future study may be conducted on a large population so as to include various aspects of population to fulfill the requisites of making generalization of the findings to the whole country.
