Herzberg who introduced the Two Factor theory, suggests that individuals are not just happy with the salary or safe work conditions alone instead, they look for more recognition, appreciation, feedback etc. This human interaction will fulfill employees' psychological needs. People like to interact, know how they are doing, what else they could do and what other factors they could consider to improve their workability. In this scenario of nurses, that's what they want, recognition, appreciation and feedback.
