Work motivation - Maslow's hierarchy of needs

1 Building on Maslow's theory, Clayton


Alderfer (1959) collapsed the levels in
Maslow's theory from five to three:
existence, relatedness and growth. This
theory, called the ERG theory, does not
propose that employees attempt to
satisfy these needs in a strictly
hierarchical manner. Empirical support
for this theory has been mixed.

and self-actualization in Maslow's
hierarchy of needs and growth in the
