✅ Correct Option:

(d) Frederick Herzberg

Explanation:

Frederick Herzberg developed the Motivation-Hygiene Theory, also known as the Two-Factor Theory. According to Herzberg, job satisfaction and dissatisfaction arise from two different sets of factors. Motivators (achievement, recognition, responsibility) create satisfaction, while hygiene factors (salary, policies, working conditions) prevent dissatisfaction. In education, this theory helps understand teachers’ job satisfaction. Improving hygiene factors alone does not motivate teachers; true motivation comes from professional growth and recognition.
