Arrange the following as per the Maslow's Need Hierarchy Theory
(A) Basic Salary
(B) Job Title
(C) Goal Achievement
(D) Pension Plan
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A), (D), (B), (C)
(A) Basic Salary — first. A salary satisfies physiological needs, the most basic needs of food, clothing and shelter. Under Maslow’s theory a higher need motivates a person only after the lower one is met, so this need comes first.
(D) Pension Plan — second. A pension gives protection and a steady income in old age. It meets safety or security needs, the next level up.
(B) Job Title — third. A title gives a person status and recognition, so it satisfies esteem needs. Belonging needs, such as friendship at work, lie between safety and esteem, but no item here stands for them.
(C) Goal Achievement — fourth. Achieving one’s goals and becoming what one is capable of becoming is self-actualisation, the highest need in the hierarchy.
