From the Paper
"In the late 1960s Abraham Maslow developed a hierarchical theory of human needs. Maslow was a humanistic psychologist who believed that people are not controlled by mechanical forces (the stimuli and reinforcement forces of behaviorism) or unconscious instinctual impulses alone. He focused on human potential, believing that human beings strive to reach the highest levels of their capabilities. Maslow set up a hierarchical theory of needs in which all the basic needs are at the bottom, and the needs concerned with man’s highest potential are at the top. The hierarchic theory is often represented as a pyramid, with the larger, lower levels representing the lower needs, and the upper point representing the need for self-actualization."

Abstract
This paper examines Maslow's theory of a hierarchy of human physical, emotional, and social needs. It shows how he wrote that human beings are motivated by unsatisfied needs and how the promise of fulfilling unfulfilled needs is what primarily drives human beings into action. This theory is analyzed in context of a salesperson's job.
From the Paper
"The salesperson's calling is also based upon needs, as in "I need to make a living and earn 'y' amount of dollars, therefore I will sell you 'x.'" However, the relationship of a salesperson on commission is even more needs based than perhaps some other professions. On the most basic and elemental of levels, the salesman or woman is motivated by his or her physiological needs-the need to eat, the need to feel warm, to buy clothes-all of which require a salary. The salesman will sell homes via the mortgage company to facilitate a buyer's own physical needs to have a kitchen to eat and store food, to feel warm in a residence, or to have a place to stay to weather the elements. Thus selling mortgages fulfills the prime, first, core base of the psychologist Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of human needs."

Abstract
The paper relates Abraham Maslow's background and examines the theory he proposed in his 1943 paper, "A Theory of Human Motivation." The paper explains his theory which contends that as humans meet basic needs, they seek to satisfy successively higher needs that occupy a set hierarchy. Maslow proposed that all people seek to satisfy five basic needs: physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs and self-actualization needs. The paper is of the opinion that Maslow's theory is a common sense approach to human behavior. The paper discusses how his research shows there is a motivator for each need and it is these motivators that pushes one through the hierarchy of needs pyramid.

From the Paper
"Maslow's original studies and research while at University of Wisconsin were investigating primate dominance behavior. He performed further research and similar studies at Columbia University. From 1937 to 1951 Maslow was on the faculty at Boston College and while in New York was mentored by anthropologist Ruth Benedict and Gestalt psychologist Max Wertheimer. Maslow so looked up to these people that he began taking notes about them and their behavior. "This would be the basis for his lifelong study and thinking about mental health and human potential""

From the Paper
"These theories are fully applicable in today?s work setting. As far as the matter of the applicability of these theories to hospital employees is concerned, one should first identify as to whether a hospital employee fits the profile of an average business employee? Does he respond to the same motivator patterns as identified by Maslow? Does he possess the same hierarchy of needs as possessed by an average business employee?"

Abstract
This paper describes the outlook of Abraham Maslow, one of the most influential psychological theorists of the 20th century. In particular, his approach known as humanistic psychology is examined, with an emphasis on his holistic-dynamic theory. The paper describes this theory based on the existing theories of Freud, Jung and Adler. Maslow's "hierarchy of needs" is presented as part of the holistic theory. The paper regards Maslow quite positively, because he never claimed that his theories were an end in themselves or that they were valid to the exclusion of all other theories of psychology.
Outline:
Background of Maslow's Interest in Humanistic Psychology
The Holistic Dynamic Theory
Theory of Motives
Deficiency Motives
Growth Motives
Hierarchy of Needs
The Physiological Needs
The Safety and Security Needs
The Love and Belonging Needs
The Esteem Needs
Self-Actualization
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Even while realizing the importance of the existing theories, Maslow made it his life's goal to "integrate into a single theoretical structure" the partial truths that he saw in Freud, Adler, Jung, et. al. He asserted that Freud had given us "the sick half of psychology, and we must now fill it out with the healthy half." (Maslow, quoted by Ewen, 1998, p. 416) As a result, Maslow developed his Holistic-Dynamic theory of human psychology through the study of healthy, fully functioning, and creative individuals instead of focusing on the mentally ill and the neurotic individuals as was done by Freud and his followers."

Abstract
Many of the pioneers in the field of psychoanalysis were then either psychiatrists or psychologists. Two such men, Sigmund Freud and Abraham Maslow, were key figures in the development of psychoanalysis. Freud is considered to be one of the pinnacle creators of psychoanalytical theory and thought, while Maslow is a much more recent figure, yet is still considered to be highly significant in his work.

Motivational Theory and Education, 2008.
This paper examines motivational theories and their relevance to education.

Abstract
The paper discusses various motivational theories that attempt to explain what factors motivate one to excel when given appropriate tasks. The paper provides a comparison of classical and modern motivational theories that include Maslow's hierarchy theory, Hertzberg's two-factor theory, Alderfer's ERG theory and McClelland's acquired needs theory. The paper then applies these theories to the field of education and explains why McClelland's acquired needs theory is most applicable to this field while Argyris' theories are also relevant.
From the Paper
"Maslow's theory focuses on fulfilling needs in this order: physiological, safety or security, self-esteem and actualization, the highest level or state of psychological independence (Geen, 1995). Herzberg takes a more simplistic approach, suggesting that motivating factors such as recognition or responsibility in the workplace ultimately lead to greater psychological satisfaction, whereas secondary factors he labels "hygiene factors" lead to dissatisfaction or a lack of motivation if not readily available, including job security for example or adequate perceived bonuses or compensation. Herzberg's motivational theory is much simpler and thus more easily adopted than Maslow's theory of hierarchical needs (Geen, 1995)."

Abraham Maslow and Motivation, 2008.
A look at Abraham Maslow and his theory of human motivation.
1,552 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 6 sources, MLA, £ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how Abraham Maslow was considered the father of human psychology and how he coined his way of thinking as the "Third Force." This differed from the thoughts of Sigmund Freud or behaviorists who focused on man's shortcomings. It looks at how Maslow believed that man was intrinsically good and was destined to reach his ultimate potentials and how he believed that man had a hierarchy of needs and was driven to attain one goal after another. It also examines how with these assumptions and observations, he developed his theory of human motivation to further understand man and his nature.
From the Paper
"Motivation is defined by many as the intention to perform a specific activity. It is initiated with the desire or wish to attain something. The person is motivated to accomplish cognitive or motor goal-directed actions addressed to the environment to satisfy central and intrinsic personal needs, as well as in an attempt to achieve predominantly extrinsic goals (Dai and Sternberg, 2004). Intrinsic needs are those imposed by man himself, while extrinsic needs refer to those goals that are induced or imposed by others in the society or the situation. In the workplace, determinants of work motivation depend on the employee's characteristics or internal needs (i.e. employee motives and job satisfaction) and the external environment (i.e. what the job is and its work content) (Wright, 2004). Some people are primarily motivated by an extrinsic need to support his family; he then seeks for work with adequate salary. "

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, 2006.

Abstract
This paper explains that the hierarchy of needs theory, created by Abraham Maslow in 1943, states that human beings are constantly in pursuit of needs of which there are five fundamental types. These five types are arranged in a pyramid with the base being physiological need, continuing to safety, love, esteem and finally to the top that is self-actualization. The author stresses that there is no definitive threshold where one need leaves off and the next level activates; instead, needs are filled partially or proportionally resulting in each level of the hierarchy being fulfilled to some extent. The paper relates that each student is an individual human being with his or her own particular set of needs, which varies drastically from student to student and is influenced by a variety of socio-economic factors.
From the Paper
"The esteem needs of the students pertains to their self-image and the respect garnered from peers. There is an important distinction here from the need to belong. The need to belong represents the need to be part of the group, while the esteem needs represent the need to have prestige or status within the group. While everybody feels the need to belong, they also want to feel that they are an important part of the group, that they are needed and respected for their personal capabilities. As a teacher, I am presented with an opportunity to fulfill this need."

Abstract
Hans Eysenck believed physiology explained the differences in human behavior. Humanistic theorists believed that other factors such as experience, human needs and feelings determined how a human being would react in a given situation. This paper compares Eysenck's theory with those of humanistic theorists Carl Rogers, Abraham Maslow and George Kelly, giving key points of each theory and showing each differs from Eysenck's biological perspective and how they differ collectively.
