Essay

Explain the ERG theory's main contribution to the literature.ERG theory's main contribution to the literature is its relaxation of Maslow's assumptions.For example,ERG theory does not rank needs in any particular order,and explicitly recognizes that more than one need may operate at a given time.The theory also suggests that individuals who are frustrated in their attempts to satisfy one need may regress to another one.The implication of this theory is that we need to recognize the multiple needs that may be driving an individual at a given point to understand their behavior and to motivate them.Medium;Knowledge;Comprehension
