Introduction This paper will discuss the hierarchy of needs theory or Maslow’s needs theory based on several articles. First, it will show a brief introduction of the person who first thought of this theory and an explanation of this theory. After that, there will be the relevance and practical application of this concept. Lastly, this paper will discuss the implication of the theory, and will show how this theory will effect on the organization behavior to be more effective. The human

In brief we need to wear some sort of scientific lenses by which we can catch the world of observation in order to explain, predict and influence the course of actions. THE NEED FOR THEORY AND THEORIZING According toKeIIy(1999, P. 18). “Theory is a way of finding together all together a multitude of facts so that one may comprehend them all at once”.

Motivation theories can be classified into two aspect: Process theroies and Content theories. Content Therories explains what motivates people. Contents theories studied by Maslow, Alderfer, Herzberg and McCelland. And in this section we will cover the Maslow`s hierarchy of needs theory. Psychologist Abraham Maslow founded basic needs that common to all people. Abraham Maslow introduced “A Therory of Human Motivation” article in 1943.

The behavior of animals is due to instinctive desires rather than by thought. However, where does man 's behavior originate from? Many psychologists have studied this topic with interest.

THEORIES OF MOTIVATION ERG THEORY The ERG theory is an essential need theory that was brought forward by Clayton Paul Alderfer, an American psychologist, and is considered the most popular extension and refinement of Maslow’s theory of needs with an attempt to establish a conceptualisation of human needs that is relevant to organisational settings (Steers, Porter & Bigley, 1996: p.16). The E, R, and G represent three basic need categories: existence, relatedness, and growth. These needs are explained
a. One of the most widely mentioned theories of motivation is the hierarchy of needs theory put forth by psychologist Abraham Maslow. He was known for establishing the theory of a hierarchy, writing that the needs of human beings can act as motivators when those very needs remain unsatisfied. In order to address a need of a higher level, the immediate lower level of need must be satisfied initially. Maslow’s studied extensively exemplary people like Einstein, Roosevelt rather than mentally ill or
