Question

A person who is currently unemployed is probably in which level of Maslow'so hierarchy

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is:  Physiological Need.

Explanation:

American psychologist Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) is the author of the Hierarchy of Needs, a theory that states that human motivation is based according to 5 types of needs in the following order: Physiological, Safety, Love and belonging, Steem, and Self-actualization.

In the physiological tier, people worry about their basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing. In that sense, someone who is looking for a job would fall into this category since that person needs an income to satisfy survival essentials.

Answer 2

Maslow's Motivation Model/Hierarchy:

Growth Needs:
1) Transcendence - helping others
2) Self Actualization - using full potential 
3) Aesthetic Needs - beauty and balance
4) Cognitive Needs - knowledge and self awareness 

Deficiency Needs:
5) Esteem Needs - feeling of accomplishment
6) Belonging and Love Needs - relationships with friends and family
7) Safety Needs - security, safety needs (food/water met)
8) Physiological Needs - self determination, competence, motivation, basic needs met 

Based on the characteristics of each need, it's likely that a person who is currently unemployed is in the physiological level of Maslow's hierarchy. Someone who is unemployed, if they have their basic needs met, may be lacking motivation and determination to find a job and perform it.
