Answer 1

Maslow: five-level need hierarchy

Step-by-step explanation:

Content theory is a term that describes the theory of job satisfaction specifically on the needs and values of an individual, that is set out to be achieved through the job, such that an individual can get a positive job satisfaction.

On the other hand, Maslow's need-hierarchy theory suggest that to have or achieve job satisfaction an individual's must have or achieve a five-level model, of human needs, basically in ascending order of importance. These needs covers physiological, safety, belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.

Other content theories include:

Alderfer theory of needs, the Mumford theory of needs, and Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory.

Hence, the right answer is Maslow: five-level need hierarchy
