What are the basic assumptions on which the hierarchy-of-needs theory rests?

What will be an ideal response?


The hierarchy-of-needs theory is based primarily on work by Abraham Maslow, a well-known humanistic psychologist now deceased. Maslow's theory rests on a number of basic assumptions. One is that lower-level needs must be satisfied before higher-level needs become motivators. A second is that a need that is satisfied no longer serves as a motivator. A third is that there are more ways to satisfy higher-level than there are ways to satisfy lower-level needs.
