‘A Theory of Human Motivation’ is the article that foremost introduced the hierarchy of needs by Abraham H. Maslow, an American psychologist. First printed in Maslow’s 1943 paper, it is a motivational theory in psychology incorporating a five-tier model of human needs, often portrayed as hierarchical levels within a pyramid. Maslow outlined a new approach to comprehending the mind, saying humans are inspired by their need to fulfil a series of hierarchical needs, starting with the most essential first. His theories parallel many theories of human developmental psychology, some of which concentrate on describing the stages of growth in humans. He thought it is important for the advancement of psychology to identify, group, and rank them in terms of priority. It remains highly effective in the fields of strategy, marketing, and management, where it is believed that his ideas can lead to more elevated productivity if applied to the running of organizations.
