Chapter 16, Problem 7DQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
According to Maslow's theory, what needs do the belief that one's work is important rewards meet?
Introduction:
Based on Maslow's Hierarchy of needs, our basic human needs can be categorized into 5 needs. These include, 1) physiological/physical needs, 2) safety needs: both of which combine to form basic needs, 3) belonginess and love/ social needs, 4) esteem needs: both of which combine to form psychological needs, and 5) self-actualization needs, which comes under self-fulfilment needs. This hierarchy can also be subdivided into deficiency needs and growth needs. The first four stages are deficiency needs and the top level is growth needs. As more and more deficiency needs are met, motivation tends to decrease whilst as more and more growth needs are met, motivation tends to increase.
