Discuss Maslow’s Theory of Motivation. What are the limitations of this theory?
Answers
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory :
Maslow proposed that motivation is the result of a person's attempt at fulfilling five basic needs: physiological, safety, social, esteem and self-actualization. According to Maslow, these needs can create internal pressures that can influence a person's behavior.
Limitations of Maslow's Hierarchy Theory :
The theory assumes that all people experience these needs in the same order, failing to recognize cultural and individual differences. In collectivist societies, for example, social needs may be considered more important than physiological needs.
