The theory is often depicted as a pyramid, with five levels of human needs arranged in a hierarchical order. According to Maslow, people are motivated to fulfill basic needs before moving on to higher-level psychological and self-fulfillment needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The five levels, from the bottom to the top of the pyramid, are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Physiological Needs<\/strong> \u2013 These are the most basic and essential needs for human survival, such as air, water, food, shelter, and sleep.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Safety Needs<\/strong> \u2013 Once physiological needs are met, individuals seek safety and security. This includes personal security, health, financial security, and protection from harm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Love and Belonging Needs<\/strong> \u2013 After safety, social needs become important. These involve relationships, friendships, intimacy, and belonging to a group.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Esteem Needs<\/strong> \u2013 These relate to self-respect, recognition, status, and the desire for accomplishment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Self-Actualization Needs<\/strong> \u2013 This is the highest level, where a person seeks to realize their full potential and engage in creative or meaningful activities.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The correct option emphasizes Maslow\u2019s core belief: <strong>lower-level (basic) needs must be reasonably satisfied before individuals can attend to higher-level (psychological and self-fulfillment) needs<\/strong>. For example, a person struggling with hunger or lacking shelter is less likely to focus on achieving self-esteem or creative goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s address the incorrect options briefly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hygiene factors<\/strong> relate to Herzberg\u2019s Two-Factor Theory, not Maslow\u2019s.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Security before physiological needs<\/strong> is incorrect; physiological needs come first.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Social needs before security needs<\/strong> reverses the order; security needs must be satisfied first.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Needs once fulfilled cannot be triggered again<\/strong> is incorrect; under certain stressors (e.g., job loss or illness), previously met needs can re-emerge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, Maslow&#8217;s theory is centered on a <strong>stepwise progression of needs<\/strong>, where <strong>basic needs form the foundation for higher levels of motivation and development<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maslow&#8217;s theory maintains that: hygiene factors, which relate to the work setting and not to the content of the work, include adequate wages.the more basic needs at the bottom of the hierarchy must be satisfied before higher-level goals can be pursued.security needs must be fulfilled before physiological needs.social needs must be fulfilled before security needs.needs [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-217108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-exams-certification"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=217108"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217108\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=217108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=217108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=217108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
