THEORIES OF MOTIVATION

1. Maslow’s need hierarchy theory

Abraham Maslow, a psychologist, theorized that human


beings have five basic needs:

Physiological needs. Those that are concerned with


biological needs like food, drink, rest, and sex. These
needs take priority over other needs.

Security needs. After satisfying physiological needs,


people will seek to satisfy their safety needs. These
needs include freedom from harm coming from the
elements or from other people, financial security which
may be affected by loss of job or the breadwinner in the
family, etc.

Social needs. After satisfying physiological and security


needs, the employee will now strive to secure love,
affection, and the need to be accepted by peers.

Esteem needs. The fourth level of needs. These refer to


the need for a positive self-image and self-respect and
the need to be respected by others.

Self-actualization needs. The fifth and topmost level


needs in the hierarchy. These involve realizing our full
potential as human beings and becoming all that we are
able to be.
