Explanations > Needs > Maslow's Hierarchy The hierarchical effect | The five needs | Three more needs | So what?
In 1943 Abraham Maslow, one of the founding fathers of humanist approaches to management, wrote an influential paper that set out five fundamental human needs needs and their hierarchical nature. They are quoted and taught so widely now that many people perceive this model as the definitive set of needs and do not look further.
Note that in practice this hierarchy is only approximate and you do not have to have your physiologically needs fully satisfied before going on to seeking higher needs. In their global survey, for example, Tay and Diener (2011) found that people can be living in hazardous poverty and yet still derive much satisfaction from having social needs (belonging and esteem) fulfilled.
Under the physiologic needs, OFFTERAS is usually used as a basis for prioritization.
O-oxygen F-fluid F-food T-temperature E-excretion R-rest A-activity S-Sex Although it is last among our physiologic needs, it is still a need.
