Key Points

  • Abraham Maslow, an American psychologist, introduced five types of human needs, in ascending order, they are Physiological needs, Security needs, Belongingness and love needs, Esteem needs, and Self-actualization. 
  • Initially, he proposed this theory in his 1943 paper ‘A Theory of Human Motivation’ in the journal Physiological Review. Later, he further explained the ‘Needs Hierarchy Theory’ in the book ‘Motivation and Personality’ published in 1954.   
  • In theory, Abraham Maslow states that a person's higher needs can only be achieved when the lower needs are completely satisfied. To bring about efficient results, management must cater to the needs of the workers as per the prescribed hierarchy.
