Keywords:
Two-Factor Theory, Motivating Factors, Hygiene Factors, Employee PerformanceAbstract
Failure to investigate the causal relationship between two-factor theories and employee performance in a Chinese organization may result in several issues. They include a lack of knowledge of the factors influencing employee performance, the inefficient use of resources to increase employee engagement and motivation, low productivity, decreased employee happiness, and a detrimental effect on the performance of the business as a whole. To increase organizational effectiveness, it is crucial to look into the connection between two-factor theories and employee performance. The purpose of this research was to study how motivating factors and hygiene factors may affect the employee performance of a company in China. The population used in this research comprised employees of a company in China. A questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample of 396 people using convenience sampling. Data is analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. And the hypothesis testing by multiple regression analysis. The research found that the motivation factors, namely, achievement, recognition, responsibility, work itself, and advancement, affect employee performance with a statistical significance level of .05 and predictive power of 94.8 percent. And the hygiene factors, namely company policy and administration, relationship with supervisor, working conditions, and job security, affect employee performance with a statistical significance level of .05 and predictive power of 86.6 percent.
