Hierarchy of Needs
One interesting thing Abraham Maslow noticed while working with monkeys is that some needs take precedence over others. Maslow took his ideas and created his famous “Hierarchy of Needs”. He laid out five broad layers of deficit needs being on the bottom and being needs on the bottom. From the bottom up there is psychological needs which include the needs we have for oxygen, water, protein, salt, calcium, and other minerals and vitamins. Next we have the Safety and Security needs. ...
The second from the top categorized as being needs is the esteem need. Maslow noted two versions of esteem needs, a lower one and a higher one. ... Maslow uses a variety of terms to refer to this level. He calls it growth motivation and being needs. This is when you have completed or achieved the needs on the bottom once engaged in all these needs they continue to be felt. ...
Theories Related to Hierarchy of Needs
Two theories very similar to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory are the theories of Clayton P. ... Alderter came up with the ERG theory, which is based on the needs of existence, relatedness, and growth. Existence level is similar to the physiological and safety needs in Maslow’s theory, which includes hunger, thirst, and security. The relatedness level includes needs of love belonginess, and esteem. ... The theories of Maslow and Alderter differ, because Alderter believed that more than one need could be satisfied at the same time. ...
Another theory similar to Maslow’s is Frederick Herzberg’s Motivator-Hygiene Theory. This theory deal with hygiene factors and motivates that satisfy a workers needs in the workplace. ... The hygiene factors are similar to Maslow’s physiological and safety needs.
