Business Organization and Management

Paper Summary:

This paper identifies what needs are important to many individuals and how they can be applied in the work environment. In addition to this, many factors listed help managers identify what employees need to motivate them. Surprisingly, many employees are not motivated by monetary values but by the feeling of importance and the improvement of their self esteem.

From the Paper:

"Many present-day psychological theories have been developed from the work of Abraham Maslow and his hierarchy of needs. What is unique about Maslow's needs chart, as compared to charts of other psychologists, is that Maslow chose to analyze only those people who seemed to be untroubled or individuals whom he considered "whole". This state of being "whole" is a healthy one, in which one lives up to one's potential. This self-actualization is something not all people can attain, however, and so they become troubled or depressed. According to Maslow, it was easy to determine what made certain individuals whole. He felt if he could identify what elements were missing in some individuals by analyzing those who were whole, he then potentially could help those who were not whole."
