The Merger Of Mount Adams Hospital

Maslow’s hierarchy is used within organisations by employers as their employees have basic human needs and a right to strive for self-actualisation. Successful organisations will be ones who care, understand, encourage and enable personal growth towards their employees.

Maslow identified that employees have the motivation to achieve certain needs. Once these needs have been achieved the employee will seek to fulfil the next set of needs.

Psychologist Abraham H. Maslow is the developer of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. The theory covers human behavior in terms of basic requirements for survival and growth (Cengage, 2002). The theory was developed in the early 1960’s. During this time psychology was taken over by two different views. One side was the human behavior and the other one was the behaviorist. Maslow explained that psychoanalysts had not accomplished the task to consider the behavior of healthy humans. He also mentioned that many subjective experiences that related with human behaviors were being ignored by behaviorist. In the beginning Maslow examined motivations and experience of many healthy individuals. He recognized that there are many requirements in this theory that are important for human survival and to help motivate individuals. He conceptualized different human needs as a pyramid with five levels in

Maslow's hierarchy of needs provides a foundational theory. It states that all employees have some basic needs that must first be satisfied in order to provide the framework for further motivation and empowerment.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs was introduced in the mid-1940’s by Abraham Maslow; it is one of the most popular theories of work motivation to this day. the theory was originally used specifically in a psychological setting, but was made more popular by Douglas McGregor in the late 1960’s and began to be used by not only psychologists but managers as well (Steers & Porter, 1983). The hierarchy is based on the fact that human beings have needs, Maslow took these needs and separated them into five categories: physiological needs, safety, belongingness or social needs,

The company began to see that their costs was higher than the other medical groups and decided to start lowering the operating cost of the hospitals by consolidating different areas of the company. The first area of interest was billing due to other companies having already done the same consolidation and had a positive result in being able to reduce costs within their companies. There would need to be a new director to oversee the new consolidated department and the two lead candidates was Kyle from the Utah office and Colleen from the Denver office. Both managers had gotten their MBAs and had started with the company when it was still starting out and growing. The board that was to decide who was to be promoted to the new position consisted of a former boss of Kyle who was biased in favor towards him to be promoted. When the board was leaning in

According to Abraham Maslow, “human needs can be presented as a hierarchy of five clusters of needs, namely, physiological needs, safety needs, love and belongingness needs, esteem needs, and the need for self-actualization “(Winston, 2016, p. 142).” Florida Hospital, an Adventist Hospital, has embraced this

Unfortunately, although antitrust agencies are paying attention to recent court actions against mergers, the FTC investigates only 1-2% of consolidations (McCanne, 2014). It is also important to remember than public payers such as Medicare and Medicaid set prices to physicians and hospitals with no room for negotiating and conversely private insurers may use their market-share leverage to negotiate reimbursements. Integrative care in the form of hospital consolidation has been shown to reduce costs by 10-20% but this cost has not been shown to produce a cost savings to private insurers (Cutler & Morton, 2014).

Merger of Hospital A and B and its consolidation into PRMC was essential as Hospital A was crippled with losses for 3 previous years and was also forecasting losses in the coming year. Hospital B was struggling with an aging facility. Furthermore, given that both the hospitals were in the same community and therefore essentially serving the same community, they were competing both: for the same patients, as well as, the clinical staff. The merger, allowed the new PRMC to reduce the healthcare costs, address the shortage of healthcare personnel and improve the delivery of healthcare by reducing the duplication of services and providing wide variety of services to the small community of 60,000 in southeastern part of Idaho.

Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs model is implemented off a hierarchal pyramid which is renowned as one the most motivational theories, it is mainly incorporated with business dynamics, and it can also be used when relating to cultural diversity. Maslow 's hierarchy outlines in a hierarchal order as drawn upon by (Patrick.A.G, 2003) quoted by Maslow that the needs are ' 'Physiological, safety, social, self-esteem, and self-actualization ' '. The physiological needs are the basis that an individual will attain such as, basic human needs which incorporate survival, food and shelter. After the physiological needs have been met, safety and security is the next priority need on the hierarchy,

Beyond the basic physical/biological needs we have as humans, we have other needs above that level which are socially defined. In American culture we keep adding more needs to the level above the physiological needs, that is, the safety level. These are the needs that we must achieve be secure enough to have strong relationships with other people (the next level in the hierarchy). For Maslow the safety needs have to do with people wanting a predictable world where the unfamiliar is rare and where they feel secure. In a way, Americans have expanded the definitions of the needs outlined in the safety level of Maslow’s Hierarchy. Specifically, Americans have expanded the definition of security of resources and security of the body.

In applying Maslow's theory to appeal and persuade Mrs. Abravanel, Scott Parker must decide what would be effective. This include predicting the needs level of Mrs. Abravanel. A person in her standing may not have to worry about basic (physiological), security or safety needs. These needs should have been reasonably met; however, she is anticipating the potential pressures of the other levels of needs. The basic needs are of low¬ importance and are not motivations for her to oppose the merger. However, some individuals are motivated primarily by social, esteem, and self actualizing needs. The needs to be loved, to be accepted, and to belong are fulfilled when people join clubs, churches or temples, organizations, etc. These needs must be satisfied before a person can act unselfishly or in the case of Mrs. Abravanel, to change her mind and support the proposed merger.

braham Harold Maslow (1908-1970), the 77th president of the American Psychological Association, was widely known for his Hierarchy of Needs, a theory of human needs that begins at the base with physiological needs that must first be satisfied before higher-level safety needs and then psychological needs become active. The first section of the research paper explores Abraham Maslow’s early life: his childhood experience, his college study, and his academic career. The second section examines some of Abraham Maslow’s key publications, in order to acquire a comprehensive understanding of his theory. And lastly, Maslow’s contribution to the psychology field is discussed, as his works signified the advancement of 1960’s humanistic psychology and served as a complement to Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory and B.F. Skinner’s behaviorism.

It is difficult to satisfy individual demands because everyone would move to the next more advanced platform of the hierarchical pyramid that Maslow created frequently once the prior need is met, especially in modern society. Meanwhile, when setting Maslow’s model into the business to understand the motivation behind employees’ behaviours, it is not amazing to find that there are also have similar five levels of needs which including wages, safety, social belongingness, self-esteem and finally self-actualization. Maslow and Stephens (2000) have posited out that individuals will not spend an inordinate amount of time to think about their salaries if they are fairly paid. After being paid adequate salary, employee seeks safety physically and mentally on the jobs. And then the stage of needs moves to the third level subsequently-seeking social
