In the book entitled “Managing the Unmanageable” (Mantle 2012) the authors look at the hygiene theory but from the prism of the IT industry. Their personal experience is mainly in large and medium IT organisations and they try to find how relevant are these conclusions for the programmers. They underline few of the hygiene factors that play major role in managing programmers. The factors that increase motivation are: making difference, learning and growing, toys and technology, recognition and praise, having fun and upside. The factors that may lead to dissatisfaction if not met are: respect for supervisor, having fun, learning and growing, good working conditions, company policies and administration, ethical management, fair compensation.
Now, how about hygiene factors in a remote environment ?
