    Solution

    As per Herzberg, intrinsic motivators and extrinsic motivators have an inverse relationship. Intrinsic motivators motivates when they are present, while extrinsic motivators reduce motivation when they are absent. Intrinsic motivators are intangible like emotional needs, challenging work, recognition, relationships, and growth potential. Extrinsic motivators are more tangible, basic needs, such as status, job security, salary, and fringe benefits.
