Abraham MaslowHis hierarchy of needs is the most common comparison point for Herzberg. Readers who like the idea of human needs at work often read both.
Douglas McGregorHis Theory X and Theory Y address the same question of how managers view workers and how that shapes motivation.
Victor VroomHis expectancy theory offers a different account of motivation based on expected outcomes, and it is often read alongside Herzberg in management courses.
Chris ArgyrisHe wrote on the conflict between organisations and the growth needs of individuals, which connects with Herzberg's call for more mature work design.
Edwin LockeHis goal-setting theory is a more task-focused account of motivation, useful for readers who want to compare Herzberg's approach with later research.
Frederick Winslow TaylorHis scientific management is the main contrast to Herzberg's job enrichment, and reading them together shows what Herzberg was arguing against.
