HIERARCHY OF NEEDS
Diagram
of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (Source: Anderson, 2014)
Physiological Needs
Physiology
needs are human basic needs that are essential for human survival in various
communities throughout society. Food, water, clothing, shelter (accommodation
or housing), sleep, and procreation are examples of physiological needs
Safety Needs or Security Needs
Safety
needs are desires for security (protection from physical and emotional harm),
as well as assurance that physical needs will be met (stability) and the
absence of pain
Love and Belonging Needs or Social Needs
Lack
of fulfillment at the third level has been exacerbated by expressive culture,
which demonstrates the power of yearning for belonging and love
Esteem and Prestige Needs or Ego Needs
Moving
on to the recognition of an individual's advanced Esteem needs, which include a
sense of self-confidence, social acceptance, and respect from others;
gratification in this sphere is of enormous value in averting the crisis
Self-Actualization Needs
or Self – Realization Needs
Self-actualization
is the fifth level of need in Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and it deals
with people's desire to develop their hidden talents and potential in society

Agreed on the above content Farhan, Herzberg’s two-factor theory is also a powerful concept of employee motivation where Organizations in the modern digital era can still use its application with high success to create a culture where employees are highly motivated.
ReplyDeleteThe two factors are namely Motivators which don’t dissatisfy if they do not exist but by giving value to these, will develop the satisfaction level of the employees (Bogardus, 2007). The other is Hygiene factors which relate to the content of the work and if they are in proper form, it tends to eliminate job dissatisfaction (Haque,2014). Salanova & Kirmanen (2010) states that the main finding of Herzberg’s two actor theory is that the opposite of satisfaction is not dissatisfaction but no satisfaction. However, each organization will have to balance the two factors will enable to achieve the desired sweet spot with the ideal motivation and no dissatisfaction.
In another way Herzberg's (1957, 1966) two-factor model of motivation was based on an investigation into the sources of job satisfaction and dissatisfaction among accountants and engineers who were asked what made them feel exceptionally good or exceptionally bad about their jobs. According to Herzberg, this study discovered two factors that influenced feelings of satisfaction or dissatisfaction (Armstrong, 2014)
DeleteAgreed on the Content above Mohamed. Further, I would like to forward an example in global context, that is the 'Google' provides free gourmet meals in its cafeteria, a nutritionist, a fitness center, and yoga courses on a worldwide scale (Google perks, 2007) and further encourage staff members, the company provides reimbursements for massages, nap pods, video games, football, and ping-pong matches (Choudhary, 2014). Instead of Maslow's Hierarchy of needs theory, Alderfer's categorize these needs in to three more universal need levels (Sahito & Vaisanen, 2017). Existence, relatedness, and growth are the three categories of wants that Alderfer identified (Furnham, 2008).
ReplyDeleteVery interesting and great beginning Farhan, furthermore I would like to add another theory from Alderfer. According to the Amazon Digital Services LLC (2020) says that Alderfer’s ERG theory suggests that there are three groups of core needs: existence (E), relatedness (R), and growth (G)—hence the acronym ERG. These groups align with Maslow’s levels of physiological needs, social needs, and self-actualization needs, respectively.
ReplyDeleteAgree with you Chathuri & also Abraham Maslow depicted that in order to advance to the next level of psychological development, a person must satisfy himself or herself in all aspects, regardless of where they currently exist. Human life characteristics are satisfied when they can access psychological, safety, love, esteem, and self-actualization processes throughout their lives. Many organizations used this theory to keep their employees motivated. (Jain, et al., 2019)
DeleteVery clearly explain about Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy Of Needs. Herzberg's two-factor theory is another influential theory of employee motivation. Organizations in the contemporary digital world can still successfully apply it to foster an environment where people are highly driven. please consider that too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your valuable comment Zacky & i have considered that theories from my other blogs
DeleteGood Post Farhan and adding furthermore, Maslow (1943) distinguishes five different levels of needs, to which he assigns different levels of relevance: “if I may assign arbitrary figures for the sake of illustration, it is as if the average citizen is satisfied perhaps 85% in his physiological needs, 70% in his safety needs, 50% in his love needs, 40% in his self-esteem needs and 10% in his self-actualization needs” (Maslow 1943: 388-389). If we were to draw a diagram (a pyramid for that matter) to represent the hierarchy of needs as explained by Maslow, the physiological needs would need to represent a much bigger piece of the pyramid.
ReplyDeleteAdd furthermore Abraham Maslow depicted that in order to advance to the next level of psychological development, a person must satisfy himself or herself in all aspects, regardless of where they currently exist. Human life characteristics are satisfied when they can access psychological, safety, love, esteem, and self-actualization processes throughout their lives. Many organizations used this theory to keep their employees motivated. (Jain, et al., 2019)
DeleteInteresting post on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Farhan. The core of this theory lies in the fact that once one needs is fulfilled, its strength then diminishes and the next level strength increases (Latham, 2007).
ReplyDeleteAdding to your comment Onita, Human life characteristics are satisfied when they can access psychological, safety, love, esteem, and self-actualization processes throughout their lives. Many organizations used this theory to keep their employees motivated. (Jain, et al., 2019)
DeleteAs Porter and Lawler (1968) posits, mere effort is not enough and before the
ReplyDeleteeffort will be effective, it has to produce the desired performance. These constructs are readily
recognizable in the expectancy theory conception of motivation, which provides the theoretical
linkage between motivation and performance underlying the choice of the criterion variable
used in this study (Ramlall, 2004).

ReplyDeleteAgreed! Many organizations tend to satisfy an individual's esteem and self-actualization needs. However, there are some organizations that go way and beyond to ensure that their employees satisfies their physiological and safety needs (Kaur, 2013).
