MASLOW'S HIERARCHY AND BARRIERS TO SELF-ACTUALIZATION
Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs

Stage I corresponds with the physiological needs of the individual, such as the normal biological processes that sustain life. Stage II corresponds with the need for physical security and safety, such as shelter and warmth. Stage III corresponds with the need for social relationships and close companionship, such as within the nuclear and extended family. Stage IV corresponds to the need for the approval or esteem of others in society beyond the family. Stage V corresponds to self-actualization and, unlike the other four stages, is not necessarily reached by all persons (Gerrig & Zimbardo, 2009).

In general, Maslow's Stage III is the most important in terms of individual psychological development because it is during this stage that foundational aspects of identity and self-esteem are established within the family of origin (Byng-Hall, 1995). Meanwhile, Stage IV typically represents the expression of the individual's identity formed in Stage III and the elusive Stage V represents the successful achievement of high self-esteem and a lifetime of fulfilling relationships and endeavors (Gerrig & Zimbardo, 2009).

Management Organizational Behavior and Teamwork CASE ASSIGNMENT Southwest Airlines, Inc. has become an example of notable success. One reason for its significant achievement is its application of Reinforcement Theory to its employees. These applications have resulted in a highly motivated workforce, which is intimately tied to Southwest's success among business leaders. Even so, not even Southwest can satisfy its employees' needs according to Maslow's Hierarchy; rather, Southwest can only give some raw materials
Productivity-Education/Craft/Trade -- a key to being able to stop the return to the penal system is to provide training necessary to allow the individual to find work after leaving prison. Not only is it extremely tough to get a job as a convicted felon, but the skills necessary to get a job that will afford a decent living are tough to get in prison. Earning a degree either online or
Facilitating Organizational Change Change in Organizations Change is often resisted at both the individual and organizational levels despite the potential for positive outcomes. The reasons for this are varied and the process of identifying them can be difficult. Robbins and Judge (2010) note that most organizations have developed practices and procedures over an extended period and being based on behaviors to which employees are strongly committed are by and large stable.

How can organizations attempt to meet these needs so that employees are motivated to produce more work? Discuss the answer in detail. According to Abraham Maslow (1970), there is a hierarchy of needs that define human development. These are: Basic Needs (food, shelter, clothing), Safety, Love and Belonging, Skill Accomplishment and Self-Actualization.
Job Satisfaction and Disabled Workers Productivity The theoretical frameworks this research will rely on are well-established. The theoretical framework in this study is constructed on Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs. Maslow proposed that unless the basic lower needs of the human being were met that the human would not even acknowledge the higher level needs. Maslow conceptualized this hierarchy as shown in the following illustration. Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs Personality & Spirituality
