Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a theory that suggests human needs are hierarchically ranked, with basic physiological needs at the bottom and higher-level needs such as self-actualization at the top. It is relevant to motivation as it emphasizes that individuals must satisfy lower-level needs before progressing to higher-level ones, and that unmet needs can motivate behavior.

The factors affecting motivation according to the text are intrinsic factors and extrinsic factors.
