Analysis Of Maslow's Hierarchy Of Needs

Psychologist Abraham Maslow created Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, a list of necessary needs in order to live with healthy mental. The levels are physiological, safety, love, esteem, and self-actualization. Physiological deals with survival needs which include food, shelter, and water. Safety is the need to be secure from danger, a shelter or safe environment. Love is the is need for affection and belongingness, friends and family. Esteem is the personal worth, success and achievements. Self-actualization is actualizing one’s potential and what you are capable of. According to Maslow, the most important level is physiological and is needed for survival.

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is used to analyze motivation of consumers, which are composed of 5 five stages. From the lowest level to the highest one respectively are physiological, safety, belongingness, ego needs, and self-actualization. (Solomon and Barmossy et al., 2006)

In social and political turmoil, certain human rights and needs are argued in the name of progress. There are debates of the necessity of freedom versus safety for people, such as long lines at airport security, seemingly tedious, but protecting from threats unseen by the public. One such person who discussed these needs was H.L. Menchen, a journalist and critic of the popular American life. He once said “The average man does not want to be free. He simply wants to be safe,” which highlights both his argument and the discussion itself, while launching new tangents of debate. Despite the call and thirst for freedom reflected in media and revolutions throughout the world and history, Menchen’s claims about the human need for safety are true, because despite the constant promotion of freedom in society, to survive one must have safety.

The Thrive approach was created by a body of specialists including OFSTED who have worked within education since 1994. Thrives approach is to identify children at an early stage in their emotional development. Addressing the emotional development of an individual at an early stage can build upon the individuals or child’s resilience, which in turn can help reduce the risk of mental illness.

As many psychologists know, Maslow came up with his hierarchy of needs to help explain human behavior. Maslow believed that lower needs had to be met before higher needs, so as people grow, they move up on the scale and move down when needs are not met. Throughout our lives we go up and down these stages, although most people never achieve self-actualization, the last of the needs.

As co-queens of our civilization, Alexis and I wanted the best for our piece of Africa. We decided that we could best do this by choosing a constitutional monarchy for our people. We want to have most of the power over decisions regarding laws and buildings but we want our people to still have the rights from a constitution. This government has allowed us to spend money on what we feel the citizens need and also give them what their constitutional rights: schooling and the right to feel safe. The following decisions have been loosely based on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs so that our people can flourish.

When observing the field of psychology, among the vast expanse of subfields, the one that caught my eye the most was Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. By labeling the five most essential parts of a human’s life, they are defined and put in order from things most needed to things that come after those basic needs are met.

I. The rational-economic model is the mental picture held by managers who consider workers to be primarily motivated by economic incentives as manipulated by the organization. The worker is essentially passive, lazy, and unwilling to take responsibility, and must therefore be controlled by the manager. This is the

The purpose of this paper is to explain Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and to explain his describe who and what they are. I will also give a short description of who Maslow was and that things he accomplish while pursuing his educations.

Leaders can use many different theories and approaches to motivate followers. Leaders and followers are not motivated the same way. Leaders who know about different motivational theories are more likely to choose the right theory for a particular follower and situation, and often have higher-performing and more satisfied employees as a result. There are five popular and useful approaches to understanding motivation in work or leadership contexts (Hughes, 2015).

We will explore some issues brought up by the model and why it may lack a certain

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs addresses the evaluation of the motivation and productivity of individuals based on whether certain needs, such as food and safety, have been met before others can be fulfilled, like self-actualization. Abraham Maslow created this theory. He states that there are five levels within a hierarchy, where the needs in each lower level must be substantially fulfilled before issues in higher levels can be addressed. The lowest and most basic level, the physiological level, includes biological and bodily needs such as hunger, thirst, sex, and shelter. Once these needs are substantially met, the needs of the following level, safety, can be addressed. Safety includes human needs of protection and security from physical and emotional harm. The following level, social, refers to the more emotional needs of humans, like friendship, acceptance, belonging, and acceptance. The fourth level, esteem, regards internal factors, like self-respect and achievement, and external factors, such as status, recognition, and attention. The final level is self-actualization, where individuals are driven to achieve their full potential, to achieve their full potential, growth, and self-fulfillment.

Nothing may define us more in life then our behavior. They are the actions that become of our feelings, thoughts, and our experiences in life. As a whole the study of what people think, feel and do in and around an organization is referred to as Organizational behavior or OB. (McShane & Glinow, 2016) .In an organizational structure, our behaviors can affect many aspects of business like moral and profit gain or loss. The ability to understand and properly manage many different types of people and behaviors inside a business structure allows the business to operate like a well-oiled machine. That also requires an understanding of how to motivate different personality types. In the research I am going to compare Maslow’s hierarchy of needs against Lawrence and Nohira’s 4 drive theory in an attempt to better understand their possible uses inside an organizational structure.

In this specific case study, when analyzed using both Maslow’s ‘hierarchy of needs’, along with Herzberg’s ‘satisfaction theory’, it can be seen that there are two major causes of organizational issues, from the removal of bonuses to the sudden layoffs

The last key concept is motivation, it can be an individual phenomenon – every person is unique & every theory allows for uniqueness. The theories within motivation try to predict behaviour – the internal and external forces which influence a person’s choice of action (Mullins, 2005).
