• Getting a promotion for a job well done

Maslow's Need Category ____

• Securing another position after being let go from a previous job

Maslow's Need Category ____

Answer:

• Maslow's Need Category = love and belonging need (social belonging need); Alderfer's ERG Theory renamed to relatedness
• Self-esteem need
• Safety need

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, in a scenario where someone (including a worker) is able to get along with coworkers and bosses, they have achieved the social belonging need.

Alderfer after studying Maslow's hierarchy decided to rename or in other categorize the social belonging need to "Relatedness". In other words, the individual has a need to be "related," "to belong."

While "getting a promotion for a job well done" in Maslow's hierarchy falls under the self-esteem need which is best illustrated when the individual has received recognition, a prize, and the likes.

Achieving Job security also falls under Maslow's safety need. That is why we can categorize "securing another position after being let go from a previous job' as belonging to the "Safety need".
