ERG THOERY
A theory of human motivation that focuses on three groupsof needs that form a hierarchy :
• Existence needs
• Relatedness needs
• Growth needs
The theory suggests that these needs change their position in
the hierarchy as circumstances changes.

Existence needs-
These include need for basic material necessities. Inshort, it includes an individual’s physiological and
physical safety needs.
Relatedness needs-
These include the aspiration individual’s have for
maintaining significant interpersonal relationships (be itwith family, peers or superiors), getting public fame andrecognition. Maslow’s social needs and external
component of esteem needs fall under this class of need.

At one point of time, more then one need may
be occurs.
When higher level demand will not be
fulfilled , then increase in desire of lower level .This is called frustration- regression aspect.
While Maslow’s need hierarchy theory is rigidThus, he gives explanation to the issue of
“starving artist” who can struggle for growth even
if he is hungry.

Implications of the ERG Theory
Managers must understand that an employeehas various needs that must be satisfied at the
same time. According to the ERG theory, if themanager concentrates solely on one need at atime, this will not effectively motivate theemployee. Also, the frustration- regressionaspect of ERG Theory has an added effect onworkplace motivation.
