Maslow's theory proposes that humans have a hierarchy of 5 needs that range from physiological to self-actualization. Lower level needs must be satisfied before higher needs emerge as motivators. The needs include physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization. Maslow's theory assumes human behavior is motivated by attempting to fulfill needs according to this hierarchy, and satisfied needs are no longer motivators.

1. Maslow’s Theory “We each have a hierarchy of 5 needs that ranges from "lower" to "higher." As lower needs are fulfilled there is a tendency for other, higher needs to emerge.”

2. Maslow’s Theory Maslow’s theory maintains that a person does not feel a higher need until the needs of the current level have been satisfied. Maslow's basic needs are as follows:

4. Summary Esteem Self-Actualization Safety Belonging Physiological

5. Physiological Needs Food Air Water Clothing Sex Basic Human Needs

6. Safety Needs Protection Stability Pain Avoidance Routine/Order Safety and Security

7. Social Needs Affection Acceptance Inclusion Love and Belonging

8. Esteem Needs Self-Respect Self-Esteem Respected by Others Esteem

9. Self-Actualization Achieve full potential Fulfillment

10. Implementing in the Organization Room temperature Pacing/Breaks Physiological Maintain a safe and non-threatening atmosphere Create a comfortable environment Safety Introductions Interact with students Inclusive activities Social Feedback Acknowledge success Esteem Provide challenges Encourage autonomy Self-Actualization

11. Assumptions Behaviour of people depends upon their needs. Human behaviour can be changed or motivated by fulfilling their needs Satisfied needs are not motivators, only unsatisfied needs influences behaviour Needs follow the hierarchy There is always a sequence of emergency of needs. Higher level needs do not emerge or motivate unless all lower level needs have been fairly satisfied

12. Advantages It is a logical theory because it recognises that an individual does something to fulfill his diverse needs It clearly states that satisfied needs are not motivators. Therefore managers can easily concentrate on unsatisfied needs of their subordinates It offers useful ideas for understanding human needs and ways for satisfying them

13. Disadvantages Maslow’s theory may not be accurate in real life Maslow’s theory is based on a small sample of subjects Need hierarchy may not be the same along all the employees There is no evidence that satisfied need is not a motivator
