In this model he indentified five levels of needs. Thi

4. Esteem needs Esteem n

achievement and freedom) and external esteem needs
(recognition, power, status, attention and admiration),
5. Self-actualis

lizing people are self-aware, concemed with personal growth, less concerned with the
opinions of others, and interested fulfilling their potential. It also includes desire for
@ gaining more knowledge, social- service, creativity and being artistic.
Among this needs. physiological and safety needs are lower level needs and social, esteem and
actualization needs are higher order needs. This model suggests that lower order needs must be
satisfied before higher level needs.

In this hierarchical model, when a need is mostly satisfied itdonger motivates and the next higher
need takes its place.
