Maslow's Theory- Motivation Triangle


There are many different theories as to why human being make decisions and do the things we do. One of these theorys is Marlow's theory. This is in fact my favourite theory because it is simple, logical and easy to understand.


Marlow's theory says that all human beings are driven by a collection of needs and that these needs bulid on each other. People who don't have their basic needs met(like food, water and a place to sleep), are less concerned with their more complex needs(like having friends and feeling respected by other human beings).


Maslow came up with a clever way of grouping these needs into different layers, that make up a triangle. The bottom layer of the triangle contains the most basic human needs and each layer higher up in the triangle contains more and more complex needs.
