It's a more factor, not two factor.
Wages: the most important, a lot of the other factors a worker can ignore if his/hers wage is more than fair.
Wage disparity: if I make €800, my foreman makes €1200 and the guy one step above him makes €4500, something is not right. And don't give me that more work more resposibility manure, they don't work. They talk, they yell, when work goes good they take the credit and bonuses, when something goes wrong they blame the only one that actually did work. Greedy pigs don't work, not-greedy entrepenurs don't suck the company for money they don't deserve.
Work environment: good coworkers, nice fluid work, unresentful bosses that take critisism, nice fluid work. Nice fluid work means high productivity, means a succeseful company. When you throw in bad wages, co-workers become a-holes since they can't vent up. When bosses are overpaid they also get a sense of being more important than they are and they stop listening to critisism.
Hygiene: when I was that I actually thought it's a joke, but it's not. A clean workplace is a happy workplace. I came to work in a good mood because I knew my company had hotel level clean toilets and when lunch called that it wants to get out, I knew I'd be on a ceramic throne, not a bucket.
Rewards: they're there to boost workers. maybe o ne feels like they're underpaid, but they'd still pull some overtime if they knew that a reward would be paid. And not a promise of a reward like we had and never got, we're not morons.
Social security: wow, look at the Lenin here, but workers work better if they don't worry how they'll get by if something happens. And the fear of being fired is not motivation, it's mobing. And if you think mobing is good, then let me know so I can get infracted.
Ability to progress: there are some content with their lot in life. Why not, their choice. Some of us do want to get promoted. And we get tired of being overlooked due to asskissers and boss relatives and we don't feel that working hard is something we should even do. There's no point.
A few more can be added. And those are from my personal experience. I actually worked once. Like laboured. So i know what I'm talking about.
And if anyone wants to call me socialist, go ahead. I actually am. My head is not so far up my arse that I actually gave socialism a thought and know that if done right it works well (khm Sweden, Norway, Switzerland)
