Employees with high levels of power are included in lines of information, support, resources and opportunities to learn and grow (Schwinger ET AL., 2010).

This section reviews theories on employee retention. 2.2.1 Herzberg Two Factor Theory Frederick Herzberg (1959) two-factor theory is also known as the motivation-hygiene or the dual-factor theory.
