Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
According to Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory, if a lower-level need (hygiene factor) is not met, it can cause dissatisfaction and prevent an employee from being motivated by higher-level needs (motivators), thus affecting their concentration on those higher-level needs.
