Theories of Motivation:
1) Abraham Maslow‟s
“Need Hierarchy Theory” :
One of the most widely mentioned theories of
motivation is the hierarchy of needs theory put
forth by psychologist Abraham Maslow. Maslow
saw human needs in the form of a hierarchy,
ascending from the lowest to the highest, and he
concluded that when one set of needs is satisfied,
this kind of need ceases to be a motivator.
As per his theory this needs are
(i) Physiological needs : These are important needs
for sustaining the human life. Food, water, warmth,
shelter, sleep, medicine and education are the basic
physiological needs which fall in the primary list of
need satisfaction. Maslow was of an opinion that
until these needs were satisfied to a degree to
maintain life, no other motivating factors can work.
