Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs(Name)(Institutional Affiliation)(Date of Submission)Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a psychological theory proposed by Maslow in his writings in 1943. It is a theory in psychology review on human motivation. In his writings, Maslow wanted to have a clear understanding of what exactly makes people motivated. He believed that there is a system of motivation possessed by individuals, which is not linked to unconscious desires or rewards. Maslow stated that motivation helps people achieve specific needs. An individual wants to satisfy the next need when one is satisfied. The credible version of Maslow's hierarchy of needs (1943, 1954) provides five motivational levels arranged in a pyramid with levels represented. The stages are divided into basic needs which include: psychological, love, security and esteem. These needs are also primary to deficiency needs. The other needs are growth needs that incorporate self-actualization needs. When basic needs are not met, they are said to motivate people. The strength of the desire for such needs depends on the length of time they are denied. For example, the more a person lacks food, the hungrier he becomes. Basic needs must be satisfied before a person proceeds to satisfy other needs at higher levels. When the basic needs are reasonably satisfied, the person can now strive to reach the level of self-realization, which is the highest level. All people have the potential and desire to move from basic needs to the level of self-realization. Progress is unfortunately interrupted by the failure to achieve psychological needs. For example, life experiences such as job loss and divorce can cause stagnation in progress from... middle of paper... motivate him to work harder to move to the next stage of the pyramid. For example, when a person at the middle level of the hierarchy is motivated to meet the first levels of need, those who struggle with basic needs will have a greater impact. This has a great impact compared to when the same is used at primary level. References Alderfer, C. (1969). An empirical test of a new theory of human needs.
