Abraham Maslow's main contribution to Management Theory is in regards to motivation. His humanistic approach challenged the scientific view that money was the only way to motivate someone. He believed that each person was good-natured and just needed a personal motivator to do what needed to be done.
He wouldn't try to motivate employees at all. This is because a Theory Y manager believes his employees are already self-motivated. He would focus on identifying and correcting any conditions that may destroy employee motivation.An understanding of Maslow's work may help him identifying de-motivators. For example, dangerous working conditions trigger low-level needs for safety (on Maslow's scale). He would want to fix such a de-motivator so that employees can focus on satisfying higher levels needs that lead to positive behavior.
In many ways the needs of an organization are the same as the needs of its employees. The ability to earn a profit as example is a need of the organization and helps fit the needs of employees to be paid properly. Thus profits and pay to employees are tied together. As an additional example, an organization needs to attract and retain employees to work in the organization. To do this, the organization must pay fairly and have good benefits to satisfy employee needs.

The psychologist Abraham Maslow.
Abraham Maslow is the founder of humanistic psychology and creator of the hierarchy of needs. Maslow's theory posits a hierarchy of five needs that individuals must satisfy in order to achieve self-actualization.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a psychological theory proposed by Abraham Maslow, which ranks human needs in a pyramid shape. It suggests that individuals must satisfy basic needs like food and shelter before moving on to higher-level needs such as self-esteem and self-actualization. The hierarchy includes five levels: physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.
Advantages of Maslow's hierarchy of needs include a simple and intuitive framework for understanding human motivation and personal development. It emphasizes the importance of basic needs before higher-level needs, guiding individuals in self-improvement. However, limitations include cultural differences in the prioritization of needs and the oversimplification of complex human behavior and motivation.
Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
The base of Maslow's hierarchy of needs is physiological needs, which include basic requirements for survival such as food, water, shelter, and rest. These needs form the foundation of the hierarchy and must be satisfied before an individual can progress to higher levels of needs.
