Maslow’s theory of motivation

1. Physiological needs; these are biological needs. This includes most basic needs such as food, water, shelter, sleep etc. a person satisfied first all of these needs then he goes for higher needs.

2.safety needs: once physiological needs are met, one’s attention turns to safety and security needs. Safety needs consist of security of body, employment, family, health, property, insurance etc.

3. social needs: when first two needs are satisfied , social needs emerge. These are related to interaction with people and includes needs for friendship, belonging , love, and affection. These needs are less basic than physiological and safety needs.

4.Esteem needs: it is classified as internal and external esteem needs. Internal esteem needs are those related to self esteem such as self respect and achievement. External esteem needs are those such as social status and recognition, attention, reputation etc. if these needs are satisfied he or she feels self confident and valuable. If these needs are not satisfied person fells weak, helpless and worthless.

5.self actualization needs: when all of the above needs are satisfied then and only then are self actualization needs activated, these needs are related to morality, creativity, problem solving, wisdom, accepting fact and justice. It is quest of reaching one’s full potential as a person.
