1. WHAT IS MASLOW'S PYRAMID? Also known as the hierarchy of human needs theory, Maslow's Pyramid is widely used in various types of companies.
Mainly because it seeks to know the motivations that lead people to act in certain ways. Basically, she argues that human needs have a hierarchy capable of directing people's motivation towards different types of satisfaction. Thus, individuals seek to satisfy their needs, in order to achieve self-fulfillment.
However, to conquer your needs, you have to go through some levels of demands. That is, from the primary issues of survival to the points of socialization and self-esteem. Thus, Maslow's Pyramid ranks the conditions for happiness and provides an overview of people's desires.
In this way, each individual only moves on to the next need after fully satisfying the previous need. Consequently, you gradually climb the pyramid as you reach each goal. That is, by overcoming a need, the person's motivation is redirected to the next one.
2. HOW DOES IT WORK? As we said, Maslow's Pyramid works that people have a different set of needs , which overlap each other hierarchically.
In this way, a pyramid is formed, like the one you are seeing now. In short, there are 5 levels: physiological need, need for security, need for love and relationships, need for esteem and need for personal fulfillment. PHYSIOLOGICAL NEED Here are those needs linked to our survival.
How to breathe, quench hunger and thirst, rest, good digestion, among others. In other words, without these conditions, it would be impossible to think about conquering the next needs. NEED FOR SAFETY Now, this level refers to what makes us seek protection from the dangers and risks around us.
That is, safety and self-preservation. As an example, we can mention: physical protection, emotional and professional stability, comfort, health care, security for family and property, among others. NEED FOR LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS At this third level are social needs .
In other words, psychological needs. For example: love relationships, family, friends, co-workers, sexual intimacy, belonging to social groups, etc. NEED FOR ESTIMATE Here, individuals feel the need to be accepted by others.
That is, to have recognition, authority, prestige, respect, in short. In this case, people seek to be valued, both personally and professionally. PERSONAL FULFILLMENT NEED Finally, at the top of the pyramid, are the needs related to self-actualization.
In this sense, they are those personal achievements and desires. Freedom, independence, wisdom, knowledge in areas of interest (such as learning and studies), overcoming, aesthetics, transcendence, self-control, self-knowledge, among others, are examples of this type of need. By analogy, these needs are considered the most difficult to meet.
Whereas if the other levels of the pyramid are not being met, attention should be turned to them. So if one of the previous levels is not satisfactory, people will focus on it instead of the top, for example. 3.
