human body such as food, water, shelter, clothing, rest,
temperature etc.
9EE602.13 to 14 24

wants to work in a safe place, protect his health

Maslow’s Need Hierarchy Theory
Social Needs

fulfilled, social needs emerge as motivators

only, provides entertainment, frequent picnics, excursion
etc…, which are helpful in motivating the employees
