Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
Maslow wanted to understand what motivates people. He believed that individuals possess a set of motivation systems unrelated to rewards or unconscious desires.
Maslow (1943) stated that people are motivated to achieve certain needs. When one need is fulfilled a person seeks to fulifil the next one, and so on.
The earliest and most widespread version of Maslow's (1943, 1954) hierarchy of needs includes five motivational needs, often depicted as hierachical levels within a pyramid.
This five stage model can be divided into basic (or deficiency) needs (e.g. physiological, safety, love, and esteem) and growth needs (self-actualization).
One must satisfy lower level basic needs before progressing on to meet higher level growth needs. Once these needs have been reasonably satisfied, one may be able to reach the highest level called self-actualization.
Every person is capable and has the desire to move up the hierarchy toward a level of self-actualization. Unfortunately, progress is often disrupted by failure to meet lower level needs. Life experiences including divorce and loss of job may cause an individual to fluctuate between levels of he hierarchy.
Maslow noted only one in a hundred people become fully self-actualized because our society rewards motivation primarily based on esteem, love and other social needs.
The original hierarchy of needs five-stage model includes:
1. Biological and Physiological needs - air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep.2. Safety needs - protection from elements, security, order, law, limits, stability.3. Social Needs - Belongingness and Love, - work group, family, affection, relationships.4. Esteem needs - self-esteem, achievement, mastery, independence, status, dominance, prestige, managerial responsibility.5. Self-Actualization needs - realizing personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences.
Here is a video of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. The video explains what these needs are. You can see these needs in anyone's routine life. You can understand well what the needs I have written are thanks to this video. Actually these needs are so basic for our life. People and the all creatures have some basic needs for surviving and I think Maslow states these needs in a good way. I hope you will understand all what I mean after watching this video.
