Social and Environment Issues are Missing in 2 Factor Theory

	          		I think that the Herzberg theory is great, but it does ignore the fact that even with great structure of Motivators and Hygiene factors a company might suffer from social issues, such as fairness in setting job tasks, and environmental issues, such as polluting nature or exhausting natural resources.

So I agree that this theory lacks, but probably is very useful in well regulated jobs like accountant, lawyer, civil servant, etc.
