Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory proposes that human motivation is based on five basic needs arranged in a hierarchy: physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs. The theory suggests that lower level needs must be satisfied before higher level needs can be addressed and that human behavior is motivated by the desire to satisfy various needs.
