... So, why do we need motivated employees? ... To be effective, managers need to understand what motivates employees. ... Among the important theories are Maslow’s need-hierarchy theory, Herzberg’s two-factor theory, Vroom’s expectancy theory, and Adam’s equity theory. Maslow’s theory interests me the most and in this essay I have critically examined the practical usefulness of Maslow’s need-hierarchy theory. ... On comparing this observation to Maslow’s need-hierarchy theory, I arrived at a few interesting conclusions. ... The need for money is a physiological need. ... This need is a need for love and belongingness. She was not so worried about the need for safety, which is the second need in Maslow’s hierarchy and continued to work as long as the first and the third need in his hierarchy where being met. The need for esteem and self-actualisation did not even occur to her even though her need for love and belongingness was met. This again contradicts Maslow’s theory, which states that the fulfilment of one need results in the desire for another. ...
However, the point I’m making is that Maslow completely ignored the need for religious and spiritual satisfaction in his theory. In fact, I observed that the need for spiritual satisfaction was so strong that it did not even depend on any other needs in his hierarchy.
