break it.

Research and Study required into:
- Needs - Drives - Expectations of people
First place in the order of business for Company's success is - Analyzing & - Planning an adequate response to employees’ motivations
Though each person has specific needs, drives, aspirations and capabilities, at varying degrees of intensity, people's basic needs are the same, as stated by Abraham Maslow.
SAFETY NEEDS
PHYSIOLOGICAL NEEDS
SOCIAL NEEDS
EGO NEEDS
SELF- ACTUALIZATION
MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS
Physiological Needs Basic physical needs: the ability to acquire food, shelter, clothing and other basics to survive.
Safety Needs A safe and non-threatening work environment, job security, safe equipment and installations.
Social Needs Contact and friendship with fellow-employees, social activities and opportunities.
Ego NeedsRecognition, Acknowledgment, Rewards.
Self-Actualization Needs Realizing one's dreams and potential, reaching the heights of one's gifts and talents.
It is only when these needs are met that employees are morally, emotionally, and even physically ready to satisfy the needs of the employer and the customers.
Employee motivation must also be viewed from two perspectives: 1. Inner drives 2. Outer (external) motivators.
A person's inner drives push and propel him/her towards an employer a particular job, career, line of study, or other activity.
The outer (external) motivators are the mirror image the employer or outside world offers in response to the inner drives.
