Question

Several advocacy groups in the U.S. monitor firms that do business with sweatshops in developing nations. These watchdog groups are concerned about human rights abuses in foreign factories, often citing unsafe and unclean working conditions. Recently, business experts have shed new light on this issue, stating that these factories that do not meet the standards of developed nations are still perceived by their workers as a better way of life than what they had before because these employers offer steady wages. According to Maslow, these workers are motivated to satisfy which of his hierarchy of needs?
a. self-actualization needsb. social needsc. safety needsd. physiological needs

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: C) safety needs

Explanation:

According to Maslow safety and security needs are about keeping us safe. In this case, the factories that operate in developing nations offer their employees job security. This is very important for those employees since the alternative to working in those factories would be probably unemployment or jobs that pay even less or over even worse working conditions.
