From the Paper:

"This can be applied to the issue of marketing in that individuals who work in this field and have their basic needs met would be more interested in learning new techniques and new ways to grow their businesses, as well as taking other training that will teach them about technologies and other issues that are up-and-coming. They will be in a growth stage because their needs for existence (i.e. money, job security) and their needs for relatedness (i.e. relationships with their peers and others) will already have been met."
