Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (Scenario)
Joe supervises several employees, and they exhibit a wide range of behaviours. He has just returned from a conference on worker motivation where he was introduced to Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Joe hopes to use this theory to gain a better understanding of his subordinates' behaviour. First there is Julie, who was hired only a week ago. She is currently preoccupied with finding a place to live and locating the nearest grocery stores and emergency services. Joe is hoping she will get these things sorted out soon so she can focus more clearly on her work. Then there is Jamie. When Joe asked her to work late next month, she agreed to as long as there was a security guard to escort her across the company grounds to the underground parking lot. Joe gladly made the arrangements with the security department. Also, there is Jason, who recently complained that his work was not challenging enough. He said he was not growing or using his full potential in his current job. Next there is Jessica-the "social butterfly"-who was constantly flitting from one work station to another, chatting with other employees. Not only did she have difficulty getting her own work done, but she also slowed down the work pace of everyone else! Finally, there is Larry, who seems to continually need attention and recognition. When Larry accomplished a goal, he wanted everyone in the department to know about his success. Quite an interesting mix of employees, thought Joe.
-Jessica is at which level on the hierarchy of needs?
