Detailed Explanation
Understanding Maslow's Hierarchy and Motivation
According to Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, 'Self-Actualization' is the highest stage of the hierarchy, which falls under 'Growth Needs' (B-Needs). Individuals reaching this stage are intrinsically motivated, meaning they act not for external rewards, money, or praise, but for the full development of their inner potentials, curiosity, and creativity.
- Self-Actualization: Represents growth needs and intrinsic satisfaction.
- Deficiency Needs (D-Needs): Lower-level needs like physiological and safety needs.
