maslow theory of needs.




Maslow argues that the needs of the individual form a hierarchy from physiological needs (hunger, thirst), to safety needs (security, protection), to social needs (sense of belonging, love), to esteem needs (self-esteem, recognition, status), to factualisation needs (self-development, realisation).

Lower-order needs in the hierarchy such as hunger tend to be satisfied first and higher-order needs such as those related to self-esteem tend to be satisfied last.
