Theory of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

Probably one of the most well-known theories of motivation in the world is Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs( Haque et al., 2014). Maslow is a wonderful starting point when considering the many theories of motivation. Maslow based his theory on the idea that people always need something, and that what they desire depends on what they currently have( Haque et al., 2014).

 Maslow suggested that in order to satisfy their basic needs, humans must attend to five levels of needs( Haque et al., 2014).

01. Physiological  needs

The needs that must be fulfilled for an individual's biological structures to continue, such as breathing, eating, drinking, sleeping, resting, and sheltering, are known as psychological needs( UYSAL et al., 2017).

02. Security needs

Despite the fact that physiological demands are mostly fulfilled, new needs that are categorized as safety needs develop( UYSAL et al., 2017). These include needs for safety from threat, security, and lack of fear . Your need to be financially secure is one aspect of your safety requirements( UYSAL et al., 2017).

03 Love  and  belonging needs

Third on Maslow's hierarchy of wants is the need for love and belonging. Having a sense of security, people need a sense of receiving and giving love, appreciation, and strong friendships( Haque et al., 2014).

04.Esteem needs

There are two different esteem needs. The first is the need to be respected and valued by others in relation to another's reputation, includes status, appreciation, and praise UYSAL et al., 2017).. The demand for self-appreciation and self-esteem, including self-confidence, independence, achievement, and talent, is the other one UYSAL et al., 2017).

05. Need of  Self-actualization

Maslow's hierarchy of requirements places the need for personality at its highest level. Based on how well the previous four lower levels are being met, this need begins to emerge. It alludes to the desire for self-fulfillment as well as the desire to realize individual's potential( Haque et al., 2014).

Further more these needs, which might differ from person to person, proceed in a hierarchical order from basic physiological demands to higher-level social and psychological needs. By organizing the needs in a certain order, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory, which is at the forefront of the most significant studies about motivation, also created the "Hierarchy of Needs Pyramid."

  1. Agreed with the content Shamalka. As a practical example in global context all Toyota company employees are compensated well, have secure jobs, are satisfied with their basic requirements, and work in a secure atmosphere (Liker, 2004). There are no private parking spaces, management cafeterias, private offices, or private secretaries within the corporation, and all employees are required to wear company uniforms, be addressed by their first names, and have access to childcare and recreational facilities (Besser, 2000).
