Please answer these questions in your own words. In you need to please refer to the Career adventure Fifth edition by Susan M. Johston Chapter 2
Think about what is motivating you right now to examine your life and where you are going. At which level do your motivations place you? If you are struggling to move to another level, are there things you can learn from this struggle that you can use as you continue to grow? Have you learned anything from the discussion of Maslow's hierarchy that relates to you and your motivations?Explanation / Answer
The updated model of Maslow's Hierarchy of needs comprises of eight levels.
At the base of the pyramid is the physiological needs. It refers to basic needs of food, water, shelter,air,sex, sleep and warmth. The next level speaks about the safety needs. According to Maslow, once the basic physiological needs are met, one's behavior is dominated to fulfill the safety needs.These needsinclude the need to protection, security, order, law and stablility. Next comes the need for belongingness and love. It refers to the need for affiliation, friendship, trust, intimacy, being a part of a group (work, family, friends etc.).The level after this is the need for esteem. Esteem needs include need for achievement, reputation, prestige, self respect as well as respect from others.
This level is followed by the need to know and understand, also known as cognitive needs. It refers to need for knowledge,curiosity and exploration. The next level has the aesthetic needs.It includes need for appreciation adn search for beauty. The self actulization need follows later which refers to realizing one's true potential, seeking personal growth and self fullfillment. The last and the final level is the Transcendence. It refers to helping others reach self actualization, their own true potential.
I seem to have completed the physiological, safety,belongingness and love as well as esteem needs.
The need for belongingness/love and the need for knowledge are something I have partially completed. I would not say I am comfortable at this level because I have the urge to move to next levels in the hierarchy. The highest that I have been, is the need for knowledge, understand.
