Hierarchy of Needs Theory (Maslow)Hierarchy of Needs Theory (Maslow)
Hierarchy of Needs Theory
There is a hierarchy of five needs—physiological, safety, social, esteem, and self-actualization; as each need is substantially satisfied, the next need becomes dominant.
Self-Actualization
The drive to become what one is capable of becoming.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of NeedsMaslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Lower-Order NeedsNeeds that are satisfied externally; physiological and safety needs.
Higher-Order NeedsNeeds that are satisfied
internally; social, esteem, and self-actualization
needs.

Assumptions of Maslow’s HierarchyAssumptions of Maslow’s Hierarchy
Movement up the Pyramid
• Individuals cannot move to the next higher level until
all needs at the current (lower) level are satisfied.
Maslow Application:
A homeless person
will not be motivated to
meditate!
Maslow Application:
A homeless person
will not be motivated to
meditate!
• Individuals therefore
must move up the
hierarchy in order.

Two-Factor Theory (Frederick Herzberg)Two-Factor Theory (Frederick Herzberg)
Two-Factor (Motivation-Hygiene) Theory
Intrinsic factors are related to job satisfaction, while extrinsic factors are associated with dissatisfaction.
Hygiene Factors
Factors—such as company policy and administration, supervision, and salary—that, when adequate in a job, placate workers. When factors are adequate, people will not be dissatisfied.

Bottom Line: Satisfaction and Dissatisfaction are
not Opposite Ends of the Same Thing!
Separate constructs– Hygiene Factors---
Extrinsic & Related to Dissatisfaction
– Motivation Factors---Intrinsic and Related
to Satisfaction
Hygiene Factors:
•Salary
•Work Conditions
•Company Policies
Motivators:
•Achievement
•Responsibility
•Growth

Core Needs
Existence: provision of basic material requirements.
Relatedness: desire for relationships.
Growth: desire for personal development.
Concepts:
More than one need can be operative at the same time.
If a higher-level need cannot be fulfilled, the desire to satisfy a lower-level need increases.
