-Despite the great number of organizations, the term organization is elusive and somewhat difficult to define.
-Undoubtedly, technology has so far not produced important improvement in human behaviour in the organization.
CHRIS ARGYRIS
-At its most general level, growth tends to be viewed as some increase of some aspect of the organization.
-Biologically, growth tends to be internally rooted but influenced environmentally.
-As far as we can tell, growth is not a necessary property of social organization in the same strict sense that growth is
a part of the “generic” nature of biological organism.
ALBERT K. WICKESBERG

• -Secondary Needs- include thoese for safety and security, belongingness and social relations, and self- esteem and
self- respect.
Abraham H. Maslow presented three specific assumption

• 1. Human beings are never satisfied

• 2. A satisfied need does not cause behaviour
• 3. human needs are arranged in a hierarchy of importance

• 1. Self-actualization: Self-accomplishment
• 2. Esteem needs: Respect from others and self, status
• 3. Social needs: Sense of belonging, affection, love
• 4. Safety needs: Security, family stability, economic security
