Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is often referenced in business classes with regard to Organizational Behavior and Human Resources. KIT ECDC | | Course: Businees Communication & Value Science III | 4 One of the main theories relating to motivation is # Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology proposed by the American psychologist Abraham Maslow in his 1943 paper “A Theory of Human Motivation”. # People have needs, need is a lack of something, something we want. # This produces the drive & desire which motivates to satisfy that need. # Satisfying this need, or getting the thing we want or lack is the goal. KIT ECDC | | Course: Businees Communication & Value Science III | 5 Why Maslow’s Theory Works The basic idea of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is that our needs are constantly changing. As one need is met, we desire other needs. This makes sense. Will the raise we received 3 years ago , motivate us for the next 10 years? Will the challenging job we began 5 years ago , have the same effect on us today? Will the performance award we received last year , completely satisfy our need for recognition for the rest of our lives? The answers to all of these questions is clearly, no. Maslow understood these truths and this is the beauty of his theory of motivation.

The ultimate goal is to reach the 5th level of the hierarchy: self- actualization. KIT ECDC | | Course: Businees Communication & Value Science III | 7 Maslow’s five needs 1. Physiological needs :- Physical survival needs that humans must meet as like : food, water, shelter, warmth, sleep. 2. Safety needs :- living or working in a safe environment , having a stable & sufficient source of income , feeling protected from crime or abuse , being in good physical health with no serious illnesses. 3. Love & belonging needs :- feeling of being connected to others, belonging to a group, & having secure relationships. People meet these needs through: making friends, giving & receiving affection , emotional intimacy , feeling accepted by loved ones. 4. Esteem needs :- (admiration/respect) self-worth, dignity, independence, respect from peers, acknowledgment for one’s Achievements ,status or prestige , fame or reputation. 5.

A realistic perception of reality acceptance of imperfections , flexibility & spontaneity in pursuing goals autonomy , responsibility consistent , strong morals , appreciation for life , creativity . Being self-actualized does not mean a person has no problems and is always happy. Maslow described self-actualization as an ongoing process rather than the end point of a journey.
