MASLOWS HIERARCHY OF
NEEDS
SAR
INTRODUCTION
Abraham Maslow sought to explain why people are
driven by particular needs at particular times. His
answer is that human needs are arranged in a hierarchy
from most to least processing.
People will try to satisfy their most important needs
first. When a person succeeds in satisfying an important
need, he will then try to satisfy the next important need.
For e.g. A poor man (need 1) will not take an interest in
latest happening in the art work (need 5), nor in how he
is view by others (need 3 or 4), nor even in whether he
is breathing clean air (need 2); but when he has enough
food & water, the next most important need will become
main.

Physiological Needs
Physiological needs are those required to sustain life, such
as:
Air
Water
Food
Sleep
According to Maslow's theory, if these fundamental needs are
not satisfied then one will surely be motivated to satisfy them.
Higher needs such as social needs and esteem are not
recognized until one satisfies the needs basic to existence.
E.g. Mobile- in metro city, any product for growing newbornJohnson & Johnson

Safety Needs
Once physiological needs are met, one's attention turns to
safety and security in order to be free from the threat of physical
and emotional harm. Such needs might be fulfilled by:
Living in a safe area
Medical insurance
Job security
Financial reserves
According to the Maslow hierarchy, if a person feels threatened,
needs further up the pyramid will not receive attention until that
need has been resolved.
e.g. 1RK Flat for just married couple.
Helmet, Medicines, Basic Mobile- on Kids watch, TOP security
guard for home, PCI Pest control

Belonging
Needs
All children need to feel that their
world is a safe place where people
will care about them, where their
needs for support, respect and
friendship will be met, and where
they will be able to get help to work
out any problems. When these needs
are met children develop a sense of
belonging.

Esteem Needs
Once a person feels a sense of "belonging", the need to feel
important arises. Esteem needs may be classified as internal or
external. Internal esteem needs are those related to self-esteem
such as self respect and achievement. External esteem needs
are those such as social status and recognition. Some esteem
needs are:
Self-respect
Achievement
Attention
Recognition
Reputation
E.g. Highly Expensive Products-Rolex, Mercedes, world tour
with cogs & kings, Phillips-55 3D TV, living in Hiranandani

Self-Actualization
Self-actualization is the summit of Maslow's hierarchy of
needs. It is the quest of reaching one's full potential as a
person. Unlike lower level needs, this need is never fully
satisfied; as one grows psychologically there are always
new opportunities to continue to grow.
Self-actualized people tend to have needs such as:
Truth
Justice
Wisdom
Meaning
