In theory, the hierarchy works in this order towards an employee; first they seek to fill the physiological need by getting a job to pay for the basic necessity of the human body. Once that is settled, the employee will want his safety needs being solid, he needs to feel safe at work with insurance policies and medical coverage in case of anything untowardly was to happen. After the first two basic needs are taken care of, he will need to feel a sense of belonging to groups in the social need, humans are not meant to be alone and thus the need to mingle and socialize is important. The esteem needs is automatically achieved after he finally gets a good level of communication with his colleagues, which results in him being acknowledge by people, this is usually the need that needs to be reached in order for an employee to be motivated and also to measure job satisfaction. As an employee feels cherished by their company, they build self-confidence which in turn will motivate them in working hard and efficient. Lastly comes self-actualization, where the employees achieves this by finally getting recognition by his superiors and are rewarded for his dedication may it be some form of promotion at work. Maslow’s theory provides the fundamentals of motivation which is required to be fulfilled to maximize job satisfaction; one cannot feel satisfied if any of the five needs is
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Theory can explain the manager’s actions. Specifically, the lower-order need Safety. The manager acted out in order to protect the stability of the company and prevent employees from eating food for free. Under Alderfer’s ERG Theory the manager was acting out of protecting his growth needs. As he was attempting to stop a behavior that tarnishes his work record and prevents him from receiving a bonus. Subject to McClelland’s Acquired Needs Theory the manager catered to the Need for Achievement. The manager was attempting to solve a problem with his workers by enacting a new rule. Motivator Factors under Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory explains the manager’s decision as well. He took action in order to receive recognition
A pyramid was proposed by an American psychologist, which came to be know as “Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.” This concept that he brings through this theory is that to move up in human existence, in consciousness, we must first fulfill our needs based in order of their importance for our survival. If we are lacking security and safety we will not seek out, maybe even be unable to recognize, possess, or reciprocate, love.
Nowadays, wherever we go, in reality or virtually across the internet, we find ourselves surrounded by marketing and advertisements. Sometimes it is annoying but there are times when those ads are pretty useful and transmit to us the right message at the right moment. In fact, that’s one of the purposes of marketing, to bring us benefits and eventually to bring benefits to the producers. In all this process there is also a causality effect; apparently by being aware of what the market offers us there are created some new needs maybe that we were not conscious of. The question is: are advertisements always well informing us? If not, on who must the responsibilities lie on?
Maggie a girl of the streets is a book where a little girl is mistreated as a child, and she continues to be treated poorly in her adulthood. She was never loved by anyone and could never find love for herself. Attached to this book written by Stephen Crane, were many psychological theories.

There was no hope for a better life for Maggie.
According to Robbins et al; (Robbins et al, pg 296) motivation refers to the process by which a persons efforts are energized, sustained, and directed towards a goal. This definition has three key elements: energy, direction, and persistence. Motivation is a complex and important subject, has historically been given a great deal of attention by Psychologists, who have proposed theories to explain it. (Riggio, pg 188),
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is a structure of the needs of people. The order of this structure is in the shape of a pyramid, with Survival at the bottom as the foundation, Safety & Security next, Belonging after that, Esteem next, and finally Self Actualization at the top of the pyramid. How it works is that you cannot have one part of the Hierarchy without the one below it, so you have to have survival in order to have Safety and Security. “The Pursuit of Happiness” is a movie that very closely follows Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.
The theory which contributes to the theme is Maslow’s hierarchy of needs which talks about “a positive environment and positive relationships are an important part of supporting every child or young person’s needs”, Taylor Et al, (2012:p13). Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is most often displayed as a pyramid. As people progress up the pyramid, needs become increasingly psychological and social. Maslow talks about children’s safety needs and how they need to feel security. “Maslow placed a real importance on ensuring that children have their basic needs met before they can learn”, Taylor Et al, (2012; p40). Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, is relevant to safeguarding the health, safety and well-being of children and young people as, safety needs is one of the needs on the pyramid. Children and young people need to achieve safety and well-being in order to be able to move up the pyramid and therefore can learn how to safeguard themselves, “One must satisfy lower level basic needs before progressing on to meet higher level growth needs”, Mcleod, (2013).
Why is it important that we be financially healthy? Does it matter if we choose our wants over our needs? Well in fact it does when one spends more than what their income can afford. One sometimes chooses their wants over their needs. The finance choices of wants and needs are effected in a capitalistic society, which also effects our active roles and behavior. We are persuaded in ways through marketing 's of businesses, sports, and supply and demands. These types of marketing has people buy their products, and in the long run have them in debt. A capitalistic society’s motives and research of demography, are ways to determine what the consumer like. Survival ties in with the ideologies, Johari Window and Maslow 's Hierarchy of Needs, which
Mr. Rankin is the person responsible for the technical implementation of a new customer relationship management software. The company he works for is having great success with initial sales across the country, but when it comes to repeat customers, it seems the numbers are lacking.

Based on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and the knowledge that where one stands will be ever-changing without being in a definite spot in a moment of time, I find myself to be somewhere between safety and love/belonging. The reasoning can be of many reasons, but the clearest reason is due to the fact I know I am not capable of esteem yet, instead relying on bad habits that mimic a good feeling for a moment, but soon realizing once more I do not like the way I see myself in the mirror, often finding I cannot relate to what others see and think of me. The levels in this paper will cover what I have achieved, or may be currently in, while soon revealing important parts of my life that will relate to the class along with my plans to achieve self-actualization,
The above co-relation between Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and perception of job satisfaction for employees at different stages of life will help managers understand what pleases the employees and how to connect performance goals to them. Thereby achieving a win-win situation for the company by accomplishing organizational objectives and employee job satisfaction.
An enlightened consumer is an empowered consumer. An aware consumer not only protects himself from exploitation but induces efficiency, transparency and accountability in the entire insurance sector. In this regard, one cannot help thinking of Maslow's concept of the Hierarchy of Needs. Abraham Maslow, a psychologist, introduced this idea in his 1943 paper, A Theory of Human Motivation. The well-known theory lists human needs within a pyramidal structure to show how we prioritize certain basic needs before moving on to the next rung of needs. Starting from the base of the pyramid, the needs that motivate human behaviour, according to Maslow, are as follows:

In the light of Hablemitoglu, Ozkan and Purutçuoglu (2010. Pp.222-228), organizations in the modern world and after hundred years of management generally use Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. As we can see from the Figure Ι, this theory puts emphasis on five factors that are aligned with the performance of an employee, physiological, safety, love, esteem and self-actualization. The employee of an organization is motivated to work if these factors are fulfilled by the management. For instance, if his or her physiological needs are being fulfilled, i.e. food, shelter and water, he will be willing to perform better. On the other hand, if the employee is secure about his job, he will ensure that he retains it by performing to the expectations. In the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, there are two important factors for managing the workforce in the modern business organizations, motivation and satisfaction (Gagné and Deci, 2005. Pp.331-362). Employees who are satisfied with the factors and incentives being provided by the organization are more likely to be motivated to perform better, which is completely different from the past. For instance, if an employee feels he or she does not have enough knowledge about a certain department in the organization, the management can fulfill his or her esteem factor by planning a career
