Study Notes
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
- Maslow's hierarchy outlines five levels of human needs, progressing from basic physiological needs to self-actualization.
- Lower levels (physiological, safety, love/belonging) must be met before higher needs can be addressed.
Self-Actualization
- This is the highest level, characterized by personal fulfillment and growth.
- It involves morality, creativity, spontaneity, problem-solving, lack of prejudice, and acceptance of facts.
Esteem
- Feeling good about oneself arises from recognition by others for achievements.
- This builds self-esteem and acceptance.
Love and Belonging
- Humans desire close relationships, feeling accepted and cared for within a group or community.
- Strong relationships are essential for emotional well-being.
Safety
- A secure home and stable work environment are critical.
- These provisions provide peace, allowing humans to approach strangers or acquaintances without fear.
Psychological Needs
- The most basic needs relate to survival.
- People need air, food, water, warmth, sleep, and shelter to live.
Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory
- This theory separates motivators and hygiene factors.
Motivators
- These increase job satisfaction.
- Examples include achievements, recognition, the work itself, responsibility, and growth.
Hygiene Factors
- These do not increase satisfaction but prevent dissatisfaction if absent.
- Examples include salary, company policies, supervision, and working conditions.
Rewards
- Tangible rewards include salary increases, promotions, and bonuses.
- Intangible rewards include praise, challenging work, and promotion.
Employee Motivation and Engagement
- Engaged employees work with pride, show positivity toward colleagues, and connect with the company, often driving innovation and profitability.
- Employees who are disengaged perform their core duties but lack passion and energy; actively disengaged employees express dissatisfaction and diminish team morale. Motivated employees are often more productive and profitable.
