    Maslow's theory of motivation is based on a hierarchy of human needs and their satisfaction motivating employees, while Herzberg's theory focuses on motivators like achievement and growth and distinguishes between hygiene factors that cause dissatisfaction and motivating factors. Herzberg's theory extends Maslow's by being more prescriptive in identifying motivating factors and is more applicable to rich countries where money is less important, whereas Maslow's theory is simpler and more widely applicable, especially in developing countries where financial needs still motivate.
