    Maslow’s Need Hierarchy Theory

    Maslow's Need Hierarchy Theory is based on the needs of people. He identified five distinct categories
    of needs. He arranged these needs into a hierarchy, and stated that individuals wish to satisfy particular
    need to a moderate extent, and then tries to satisfy the next need in the hierarchy.

    Categories in Maslow's Need Hierarchy Theory


    The five categories proposed by Maslow are:
    1. Physiological Need: Basic and primary needs required for human existence are physiological
    needs. These needs relate to the survival and maintenance of human life. These needs include
    such things as food, clothing, shelter, air, water and other necessities of life. These needs must
    be satisfied repeatedly until human beings die.
    2. Safety and Security Needs: After satisfying the physiological needs, people want the assurance
    of maintaining a given economic level. Individuals seek protection from natural environment,
    biological danger, economic deprivation and emotional threat from other beings and animals. In
    order to motivate employees, organisations provide fringe benefits, health and accident
    insurance, housing loans, etc

    3. Social Needs: Man is a social animal. Social needs emerge from the basic urge of individuals to
    associate, belong with others, make friendship, make companionship, desire to be accepted by
    others and seek affection. Organisations should provide scope for formation of informal groups,
    encourage working in teams, and provide scope for interpersonal communication, interpersonal
    relationships and interpersonal understanding to motivate employees
    4. Self-esteem Needs: Maslow believes that people seek growth. They have natural desire to be
    identified and respected by others. This instinct is called as esteem. Esteem needs are
    associated with self-esteem and esteem from others. The need for power, self respect,
    autonomy, self confidence, achievement, recognition of competence, knowledge, desire to have
    freedom, status and secure attention of others, appreciation are some of the esteem needs
    individual wishes to satisfy. Maslow identified them, as higher order needs. The nature of
    esteem needs is that they are dormant until basic, security and social needs are fairly satisfied.
    Satisfaction of esteem needs produce a feeling of self-confidence, strength, capability and
    adequacy in the individuals. The fulfilment of esteein'needs leads to self confidence strength
    and capability of being useful in the organisation. Whereas inability to fulfil these needs results
    in feelings of inferiority, weakness and helplessness.
    5. Self Actualization Needs: Self-actualization is transformation of perception and dream into
    reality. Individuals have inner potential to do things different from others. Realising the full
    inner potential, one wishes to become what he is capable of becoming. After his other needs are
    fulfilled, a man has the desire for personal achievement. The sense of achievement gives him
    satisfaction
