“ He was an American psychologist who was known for creating the
Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
He proposed it in order to better understand what motivates human beings and he also proposed that
our needs can be organized into a hierarchy. The theory was named after him. He died in 1870.

PROPONENT
“
Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a motivational theory in psychology comprising a five-tier model
of human needs, often depicted as hierarchical levels within a pyramid.

It is relevant to organizational theory because both are concerned with human motivation. From
the bottom of the hierarchy upwards, the needs are: physiological, safety, love and belongingness
needs, esteem and self-actualization.
 
Needs lower down in the hierarchy must be satisfied before individuals can attend to needs higher
up. According to Maslow, when a lower need is met, the next need on the hierarchy becomes our fo-
cus of attention.

What is Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs?
The Original Hierarchy of
Needs, Five-stage Model
 Physiological Needs
Considered as the most important.

02 Safety Needs
These needs can be fulfilled by the family and the society.

03 Love and Belongingness Needs

04 Esteem Needs
Classified into two categories: esteem for oneself and desire
for reputation.

05 Self-Actualization
The highest level in Maslow's hierarchy.
1. Physiological Needs
These are biological require-
ments for human survival like
air, food, drinks, shelter, cloth-
ing, warmth, sex and sleep. If
these needs are not satisfied, the
human body cannot function op-
timally.
Maslow considered phys-
iological needs the most im-
portant as all the other needs be-
come secondary until these needs
are met.
2. Safety Needs
Once an individual's physiological
needs are satisfied, the needs for
security and safety are salient.
People want to experience order,
predictability and control in their The Original

Maslow described this level as the Needs, Five-stage
desire to accomplish everything Model
that one can, to become the most that
one can be. Individuals may per-
ceive on this need very specifically.
“ Maslow argued that the failure to have needs met at various stages of the hierarchy could
lead to illness, particularly psychiatric illness or mental health issues.

Individuals whose psychological needs does not met may die or become extremely ill.
When safety needs does not met, posttraumatic stress may occur. “
