Study Notes

Motivation and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

  • Motivation is the process that initiates, guides, and maintains goal-oriented behaviors.
  • Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a theory proposing that human beings have different levels of needs, which are hierarchically ranked.
  • According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, lower-order needs (physiological, safety, and love) must be satisfied before higher-order needs (esteem and self-actualization) can be addressed.

Hierarchy of Needs

  • The five needs in the hierarchy are:
    • Physiological needs (basic needs necessary for survival)
    • Safety needs (security, stability, and protection)
    • Love needs (social connections, love, and belonging)
    • Esteem needs (recognition, respect, and self-esteem)
    • Self-actualization needs (personal growth, creativity, and fulfilling one's potential)

Lower-Order Needs

  • Physiological needs are the basic needs necessary for survival, such as food, water, and shelter.
  • Safety needs are related to security, stability, and protection from harm.
  • Love needs involve social connections, love, and a sense of belonging.

Higher-Order Needs

  • Esteem needs are related to recognition, respect, and self-esteem.
  • Self-actualization needs involve personal growth, creativity, and fulfilling one's potential.

Self-Actualization

  • Self-actualization is the highest level of need in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, involving personal growth, creativity, and fulfilling one's potential.
  • It is the pursuit of one's values, goals, and dreams, and the realization of one's full potential.
