RESEARCH AND LEARNING INFORMATION RESOURCES: BOOK REVIEWS

The objective of this study was to use Herzberg's method to determine whether there were any factors in the school environment which could be identified as satisfiers or dissatisfiers, whether satisfiers and dissatisfiers could be further classified as motivators or hygiene factors, and whether there would be any relationship between the findings of this study and Herzberg's findings. Subjects were 41 community college students, 13 of whom were male, 28 of whom were female. Their ages ranged from 18 to 44. Subjects provided data by completing a questionnaire which was designed to elicit specific events to periods of time when the students felt very good or very bad about something related to their studies or to the school environment. The results of the study tended to support the hypotheses and were significantly similar to the results of Herzberg's study.
