Question

Jared is a salesman at a large retail store. Upon meeting his monthly sales target, he is honored with the title of “Star Salesman” by the management. Despite the recognition, Jared is not very happy. He feels that the management should have rewarded him with a bonus instead of a title. According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, which of the following needs is Jared seeking to fulfill?
(A) safety needs
(B) Physiogycal needs
(C) esteem needs
(D) Self-actualization needs

Answer 1

Answer:

(A) safety needs  

Explanation:

According to Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs, unsatisfied needs motivate people in a way that lower needs must be fulfilled first before attempting to satisfy higher needs. Thus, the bottom of the pyramid consists of physiological needs, then safety, social, esteem and self-actualization needs. As a result, Jared wishes to feel more financial security before achieving social recognition.
