Theories of motivation-
Maslow's Hierarchy of needs-
This theory is used in the organizations so that the various types of needs of the people
who are working in it can be identified effectively and efficiently (Parris and et.al., 2016).
According to it, there are various needs of the workers in the organizations which can be
categorized in the following types-
Physiological needs- These are the basic requirements which a human being has and
they are required to be fulfilled. Therefore for the organizations it is very crucial that they focus
on the fulfilment of these needs which will therefore help in the achievement of the different
types of goals and objectives effectively and efficiently.
Safety needs- These are the needs which are related with safety and security of the
people working within the organization. Therefore it is very important from the point of view of
the firms that they are able to address these needs because by addressing them they are able to
give the employees a sense of security which helps them in concentrating better on work.
Love and belongingness needs- These are the needs which are related with the longing
for love and warmth by the people in the organization. Thus, from the point of view of the firms
it is very important that the management can concentrate on these needs and ensure their
fulfilment which will be quite helpful in ensuring that the level of efficiency, effectiveness and
productivity can be enhanced.
Esteem needs- These needs are related with self-respect and dignity of the employees in
the firm. Therefore in the organizations the management has to ensure that they care about the
esteem and self-respect of the people who are working in the organization so that they are able to
achieve the challenging and tough goals effectively and efficiently.
