What is the relevance of maslows motivation theory in todays workplace?

Maslow's theory describes human motivation to meet basic needs, and when they are met, an individual aspires to realize higher needs. This theory is relevant in organizations, as employee motivation will increase productivity. This will enable an organization to achieve its objectives.


Limitation of maslow theory?

Though Maslow's theory seems to make a lot of sense at face value, its very limited by the fact that there is no scientific evidence to prove this hierarchy of needs. There may even be evidence proving it false. This theory also fails to explain people who will give up lower needs for higher ones. Such as the anorexic who gives up food in order to maintain a feeling of belonging. New add: I would disagree with this hypothesis, the anorexic is actually removing the issues with the higher needs by creating issues with the physiological ones. I would go so far as to say the example you use is one of the best for proving Maslows theory. Maslow himself suggested that a person would not think about higher needs if the basic ones were not met.
