Detailed Explanation
Detailed Explanation
Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory explains that human needs are arranged in a hierarchical order (from bottom to top), where an individual progresses toward higher psychological needs like 'Self-Actualization' only after primary biological and safety needs are satisfied.
On the other hand, David McClelland's Three Needs Theory focuses on specific socio-psychological motives—Achievement (nAch), Affiliation (nAff), and Power (nPow)—which deeply guide human behavior in workplaces, educational environments, and leadership styles.
- Maslow's Focus: Sequential growth and intrinsic self-fulfillment.
- McClelland's Focus: Learned needs shaped by life experiences affecting motivation and performance.
Therefore, Option (b) provides the most accurate and scientific description of both theories regarding their interrelationship and educational implications.
