Of all the psychologists and their theories, the one I find most interesting and believe the most in is Abraham Maslow. I believe his hierarchy of needs is real and that people do fall in one of the levels of his pyramid. Most of us start at a bottom level in life and strive to reach a higher level of financial and educational stability along with a satisfying career. We all have basic needs in life and once we have these we climb the ladder to higher achievements in life. Abraham Maslow was an...

Theory One of the many interesting things Maslow noticed while he worked with monkeys early in his career, was that some needs take precedence over others. For example, if you are hungry and thirsty, you will tend to try to take care of the thirst first. After all, you can do without food for weeks, but you can only do without water for a couple of days! Thirst is a “stronger” need than hunger. Likewise, if you are very very thirsty, but someone has put a choke hold on you and you can’t...

Maslow loosely defined self-actualization as “the full use and exploitation of...

The Theories of Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers Maslow and Rogers come from a school of thought, which is referred to as Humanistic. Such an approach steers away from the idea that man is a robot, who is the total product of outside forces, as the Behaviorist would maintain; or that man simply results from the interaction of primal drives and the demands of community - a belief held by many Freudians. The Humanistic approach accepts the 'human qualities' of the individual; that man is born with...

Describe & compare the basic contributions of Maslow & Herzberg to the understanding of worker motivation. We have basic needs which, when not met, cause us to be dissatisfied. Meeting these needs does not make us satisfied, it merely prevents us from becoming dissatisfied. There is a separate set of needs which, when resolved, do make us satisfied. These are called motivators. This theory is also called Herzberg's two-factor theory. Herzberg asked people about times when they had felt good...

On the other hand, Abraham Maslow developed a different theory based on human's most basic needs which is represented in a pyramid type figure...

How is Self-Actualization achieved? “The potential to self-actualize is something that lies within us all.” (R. Kay Green).
