The most of employees made minimal effort atwork (they only thought about unemployment)

A. H. Maslow (1908 - 1970)

Maslow. 1954: H uman beings are motivated by unsatisfiedneeds, and certain lower factors need to be satisfied beforehigher needs can be satisfied. It s important that leadershipunderstands the active needs for individual employee motivation.

Millmore, M. Et al. 2007: Maslow s hiearchy of needs suggeststhat people s needs change as they ascend a hiearchy, which hasbasic needs for food, security, etc. At the lowest level, with self-actualisation at the highest.

L atham, G.P. 2007: Maslow posited that there is a hierarchy of five sets of goals for which people strive in seeking satisfaction of their basic needs. Needs determine the reportoire of behavioursthat a person develops in order to satisfy each goal.
