The basis of Maslow's motivation theory is

According to Maslow,

needs (physiological, survival, safety, love, andesteem) that must be satisfied before a personcan act unselfishly. He called these needs"deficiency needs." As long as we are motivatedto satisfy these cravings, we are moving towards

growth, toward self-actualization. Satisfyingneeds is healthy, while preventing gratificationmakes us sick or act evilly.

Self-actualization is the summitof Maslow's motivationtheory. It is about the quest of reaching one's full potentialas a person. Unlike lower level needs, this need is neverfully satisfied;as one grows psychologically there arealways new opportunities to continue to grow.

Self-actualized people tend to have motivators such as:Truth , Justice , Wisdom & Meaning

Self-actualized persons have frequent occurrences ofpeak

experiences, which are energized moments of profound

happiness and harmony. According to Maslow, only asmall percentage of the population reaches the level ofself-actualization.

After a person feels that they "belong", the urge to

attain a degree of importance emerges. Esteem needscan be categorized as external motivators andinternal motivators.Internally motivating esteem needs .

Accomplishment (internal motivator)Self-respect (internal motivator)External esteem needs .Recognition (external motivator)Attention (external motivator)

Social Status (external motivator)Maslow later improved his model to add a layer inbetween self-actualization and esteem needs: theneed for aesthetics and knowledge.

Once a person has met the lower levelphysiological and safety needs, higher levelmotivators awaken. The first level of higherlevel needs are social needs. Social needs are

those related to interaction with others andmay include:

Friendship

Belonging to a groupGiving and receiving love

Once physiological needs are met, one's attentionturns to safety and security in order to be freefrom the threat of physical and emotional harm.Such needs might be fulfilled by:

Living in a safe areaMedical insurance

Job securityFinancial reserves

According to the Maslow hierarchy, if a personfeels threatened, needs further up the pyramidwill not receive attention until that need has beenresolved.


9/13

Physiological needs are required to sustain life,such as:

Air

Water

FoodSleep

According to this theory, if these fundamental

needs are not satisfied, then one will surely bemotivated to satisfy them. Higher needs such associal needs and esteem are not recognized untilone satisfies the needs basic to existence.
