Need Hierarchy Pattern: A Study of Male and Female Executives

Human nature can be very simple,yet very complex too. Quite apart from the benefit and moral value of an altruistic approach to treating colleagues as human beings and respecting human dignity in all its forms, research and observations show that well motivated employee motivation is a mystery for many researchers. Instead understanding how to use these to improve performance. Organisations desiring to improve employee motivation need a system in place that consistently satisfies needs of employee. An understanding and appreciation of this is a prerequiSite to effective employee motivation in the work place and there fore effective management and leadership. In spite of enormous research,basic as well as applied the subject of hierarchy of needs is not clearly understood and more often than not poorly practiced. To understand need hierarchy pattern one must understand human nature itself. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is valuable assessment tool that is used in many different professions, particularly those in the field of education and health care. The ideas of needs are addressed in order, as the body resolves the most baste needs for survival before moving on to more complex needs. At the broadest level, an evolutionary approach implies that all behaviour is goal oriented, resulting from psychological adaptations that were designed by natural selection to deal with recurrent, threats and opportunities. A considerable body of comparative and neuropsychological evidence supports the assumptions of multiple motivational and cognitive systems. There is also reason to presume some degree of hierarchical relationship between functional motivational systems.
