Esteem needs are the fourth level in Maslow’s hierarchy - which Maslow classified
into two categories: (i) esteem for oneself (dignity, achievement, mastery,

5. Self-actualization needs are the highest level in Maslow's hierarchy, and refer to

expectations of the consumer, leading to a neutral feeling of satisfaction; (2) the
performance exceeds expectations and the customer is delighted, which is known as
positive disconfirmation; or (3) the performance is below the expectations, the
