    Uploaded by

    Motivation consists of direction, intensity, and persistence of voluntary behavior. It is impacted by goals, effort, and time spent. There are three elements - needs, drives like organized events, and incentives like rewards. Motivated employees are more quality-oriented and productive. Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory proposes needs are grouped into deficiency needs (physiological, safety, social, esteem) and growth needs (self-actualization). Lower needs must be satisfied before higher needs are pursued.

    Maslows Hierarchy of Needs Theory

    This theory was produced in order to answer the question What


    motivates an individual Every second need comes to force
    when the first need is satisfied completely. Maslow explained
    the hierarchy of needs by grouping them into two: deficiency
    needs and growth needs.
    Maslows hierarchy of needs theory

    Self-
    Actualization

    Esteem

    Social Needs

    Safety Needs

    Physiological Needs
    Physiological Needs

    Every individual needs to take care of the basic requirements


    required to sustain. These requirements include food to eat,
    clothing to wear and shelter to live in. These necessities are
    relatively independent of each other but are finite.
    Safety Needs

    Everybody wants to stay in a protected environment with minimal danger so that they
    can have a peaceful life. Safety needs basically includes protection from physiological
    danger like accident and having economic security like bank accounts, health
    insurance
    In an enterprise, it includes job security, salary increment, etc. The managerial
    practice to satisfy this involves offering pension scheme, provident fund, gratuity etc.
    Social Needs

    We have all heard that man is a social animal, we want to be


    there with those people where we are loved and we are
    accepted as we are; nobody wants to be judged. This is a
    common requirement every human desires.
    Esteem

    Esteem means the typical human desire to be accepted and


    valued by others. People often involve in a profession or hobby to
    gain recognition, earn fame and respect. According to Maslow, the
    needs of humans have strict guidelines - the hierarchies rather
    than being sharply separated, are interrelated. This means that
    esteem and the consequent levels are not strictly separated but
    are closely related.
    Self-actualization
    Self-actualization means realizing ones full potential. Maslow
    describes this as a desire to complete everything that one
    can, to become the most that one can be.
