Mazlow assumed people are "wanting" beings who seek to fulfill needs in their order of importance. Physiological Needs 1. Most basic level to survive 2. Food, water, clothing, shelter, sleep 3. Usually satisfied through adequate wage Safety Needs 1. Required for physical & emotion security 2. Satisfied through job security, insurance, pensions, & safe working conditions. Social Needs 1. Requirement for love & sense of belonging 2. Work enviornment, informal orgainzations, friends & family satisfy soc. needs Esteem Needs 1. Require respect, recognition, sense of accomplishment & self-worth. 2. Accomplishments, promotions, honors, and awards satisfy this need. Self-Realization needs 1. Need to grow, develop & be what we're capable of. 2. Most difficult to satisfy 3. Varies w/individual; examples: learning new skills, new career, be the best Summary "ladder of needs" motivated order? Wh is it important for motivation & management? Which levels do businesses satisfy? 5 levels of needs? Summary 1. Mazlow suggests we move up the ladder of needs and are motivated by the lower needs first. 2. Do not need to completely satisfy needs on a lower level in order to start work on needs of higher level.                  Example:        Majority phy. & safety needs met (but                 not all), will work on social needs next. 3. Mazlow's hierarchy provides useful way to view employee motivation & as a guide for management.         - Am. business able to satisfy worker's basic needs, but         higher level needs more of a problem.         - Satisfying higher-level needs varies from one         employee to another.
