-Hierarchy of Needs:he introduced it
in his 1943 paper "A Theory of Human
10. Abraham Maslow Motivation" and further developed in his
book "Motivation and Personality" (1954).
The hierarchy consists of five levels of
human needs, arranged in a pyramid:
physiological, safety, love and belonging,
esteem, and self-actualization. Maslow
argued that individuals are motivated to
fulfill these needs in a hierarchical order,
with basic physiological needs taking
precedence over higher-level
psychological needs. Managers can use
this theory to understand and address the
diverse motivations of employees in the
workplace.
