Question

Maslow's theory of motivation is criticized becausea. research does not support the argument that satisfied needs no longer motivate behavior.b. its "frustration-regression" hypothesis has no practical implications for the workplace.c. the research methodology employed does not fully account for the attribution of cause to the individual or the situation.d. substantial empirical research has indicated little practical application of the theory.

Answer 1

Answer: Option A

Explanation: As per the maslow's theory of motivation an individual can be motivated to perform his job by satisfying his or her needs in an order. When the first need satisfies he cannot be motivated further from it.

However some of the theorists do not believe this theory and suggest that even the basic needs of an individual could be used as a continuous motivator for a long time.

Hence from the above we can conclude that the correct option is A.
