According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, Seth will have a desire to satisfy his self-esteem needs before his self-actualization needs.
Is this statement True or False.
ANSWER: TRUE
Explanation: Abraham Maslow in 1943 proposed the a psychological theory called Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, which is of used to study how humans intrinsically partake in behavioral motivation. This means that we have level of satisfaction that must be meet before we admire another satisfaction of which describes the stages of growth in humans.
He used the terms "physiological", "safety", "belonging and love", "social needs" or "esteem", and "self-actualization" to describe how human motivations grows from stage to stage. Individual are never satisfied untill they reach the highest stage which is self-actualization.
Because Seth is becoming frustrated at work, since he is not recognized for his accomplishment on the job, this is in accordance of Maslow's theory, which says that once we have achieved satisfaction in one stage we will become emotional to achieve the next stage. Seth has achieved his self esteem, so his emotions are moving to achieve self actualization, which is to be recognized for his outstanding performance.
