The Maslow hierarchy of needs demonstrates that people need to be physically comfortable and have a mental feeling of safety before they can think about anything else. Thus, worker safety and jib security are important.
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 information provided needs to address each Maslow level of "need".
