Abraham Maslow proposed a hierarchy of five innate needs that activate and direct human behaviour.

These needs are starting from bottom in a pyramidal structure

1. Physiological Needs: food, water, air etc.

2. Safety Needs: security, order, and stability.

3. Belongingness and Love needs: intimate and close relationship with friends, family, co workers, community etc.

4. Esteem needs: social recognition and respect from oneself and others.

5. Need for self actualization: maximum use of our potential.

Lower needs must be at least partially satisfied before higher needs become influential. We are not driven by all the needs at the same time. Failure to satisfy higher need does not produce crisis but they do contribute to survival and growth.
