The document discusses motivation and Maslow's hierarchy of needs. It notes that motivation directs behavior towards goals and ensures better performance than compulsion. Maslow's hierarchy proposes that people are motivated to fulfill basic needs before progressing to more advanced needs. The benefits of the hierarchy include focusing on human behavior and enhancing productivity. Challenges are that the hierarchy levels may differ between individuals and it is difficult to empirically test. The document suggests ways organizations can apply the hierarchy by identifying common employee needs and motivating them towards goals through interaction, making the workplace exciting, ensuring safety needs are met, and providing extracurricular activities and counseling support.

Maslows Hierarchy Of Needs
Pros and Cons Of Hierarchy Of Needs Pros - It helps to focus on human behaviour. It leads to better productivity and enhances team performance.
Cons - Lack of a rigid hierarchical structure. The hierarchy levels may differ from person to person. It is difficult to test this theory empirically Another problem with it is a lack of direct cause and effect relationship. It may not apply at all times and at all places.
How can it be applied in the organisation Managers can identify the common needs of employees and organisation and then motivate them towards the common goals. Organisations should interact with employees. It should be a two way interaction. Organisations should make efforts to turn the offices into an exciting workplace. Organisations should take care of safety and other needs of employees.
Organisations should provide extracurricular activities for the employees like clubs and weekend trips. Organisations should consist a counsellor so as to listen to the employees whenever needed.
Thankyou
