OBJECTIVE This document is based on personal observations and the experience of being part of a large organization like Barclays Capital. In difficult times now the company tries to restructure all activities and at the same time increase the motivation of all employees so that no one feels less valuable. Being part of this process gives me better insight and a clear understanding of what the company is trying to achieve. For the first time in my life I am taking part in a restructuring and I am sure it will have a great impact on my future career and understanding of the business. By writing this article I try to get a better understanding of what Herzberg's theory of motivation is and how it might align with real business experience. Using his two-factor theory, I want to understand the processes that are happening now and draw my own conclusions....... half of the paper ......in its objectives. Now that it is clear that companies should be concerned about the challenges posed by restructuring, it is appropriate at this time to set goals that address these issues. The intended end state is not to eliminate the need for restructuring, nor would it be appropriate to expect that employees will ever benefit from the restructuring process. Instead, the goals are to develop a workforce that understands the importance and inevitability of restructuring and to minimize the illness symptoms survivors experience when layoffs occur. With a fully integrated program, organizations can maximize employee performance and engagement in ways that help ensure future business successes. By combining both motivational and hygiene factors together, organizations can maximize employee performance and engagement in ways that help ensure future business success.
