Trigger 1: What makes us more employable?

Motivation

How to adapt motivation theories to be more employable.

The Two-Factor Theory of Motivation (motivation-hygiene theory)

Motivation Factors: 'Factors that lead to satisfaction and motivate employees to work harder.'

Hygiene Factors: 'These factors can lead to dissatisfaction and a lack of motivation if they're absent.'

"While motivator factors increased employee satisfaction and motivation, the absence of these factors didn't necessarily cause dissatisfaction. Likewise, the presence of hygiene factors didn't appear to increase satisfaction and motivation but their absence caused an increase in dissatisfaction."

How important is the theoretical knowledge versus practical

Theoretical knowledge teaches you why. It can lead you to a deeper understanding of a concept through seeing it in context of a greater whole.

Practical knowledge teaches you how. It teaches you the understanding through doing and experiencing.
