Maslow believed that people are motivated by higher and lower level needs. That differs from Herzberg who believed that motivators correspond to Maslow's level needs.

Maslow's theory, known as the Hierarchy of Needs, suggests that people are motivated by different types of needs, which are hierarchical in nature. These needs range from basic physiological needs (like food and water) to higher level needs like self-actualization. According to Maslow, lower level needs must be satisfied before higher level needs become motivating.

Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory, on the other hand, proposes that there are certain factors in the workplace that cause job satisfaction (motivators), while a separate set of factors cause dissatisfaction (hygiene factors). Herzberg's motivators correspond to Maslow's higher level needs, such as the need for recognition and achievement.

So, while both theories acknowledge that there are different types of needs that motivate people, they differ in how they categorize and prioritize these needs. Maslow's theory is more of a general theory about human motivation, while Herzberg's theory is specifically about job satisfaction and motivation in the workplace.
