One of the primary differences between these two theories is that Maslow’s theory has five ascending levels, and the ERG theory only has three levels. In fact, in the ERG theory, existence equates to Maslow’s first two levels of physical and security needs, relatedness equates to Maslow’s next two levels of social needs and ego needs, and growth equates to Maslow’s final level of self-actualization.
Another difference is that Maslow believes each need is fulfilled one at a time in ascending order, whereas Alderfer believes that more than one need can be fulfilled at the same time. In other words, Maslow’s theory is that everyone’s needs progress through the specific five-level pyramid structure, whereas the ERG theory is that people satisfy their needs in different ways at different levels.
