Contrast Paul Lawrence’s human needs classification with Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.

What will be an ideal response?


Paul Lawrence suggests that people are driven by four primary, subconscious
drives, including the drive to acquire, defend, bond, and learn. He placed great
emphasis on a need to balance these drives appropriately, and argued that effective
managers would find a way to balance these needs in their employees. Maslow, by
contrast, developed a hierarchy of needs. His needs were not to be balanced but
needed to be satisfied in a specific order, beginning with lower-level needs that were
primarily physiological and culminating in self-actualization needs such as personal
achievement and meaning. Like Lawrence’s needs, managers must find a way to
provide for their employees’ needs in this hierarchy, but instead of balancing all at once,
a manager cannot provide high-level, self-actualization needs without first satisfying
low-level needs and then mid-level needs.
