lization. The first three are classified as lower order needs and the last two are higher order (Hierarchy, 2000). Without meeting these needs workers are not going to be as productive as they could otherwise. The first three are considered to be essential to all humans at all times. The last two have been argued but are mostly considered to be very important as well. A person?s behavior at one specific point in time usually controls their attitude at that time. Managers must be able to understand these basic needs of their workers. If these needs are not dealt with in a certain correct way than workers will not reach their maximum potential. If the lower order of needs is not met than people are not happy. The same can be said of the higher order. Food, water, sleep, and sensory gratification are all at the top of the hierarchy. These and other needs are considered to be part of the psychological needs. These rest at the top of the hierarchy because they are the essence to basic human survival. The list of these needs can be much larger or shorter depending of personal opinion. Maslow himself said that said ?it would be possible, but most likely not very helpful, to make a long list of psychological needs.? (Goble, 1970, p.37). Without these most essential needs somewhat satisfied a worker will not be productive. If someone is hungry they will not have their mind on work until they get some sort of food. Managers have to not only make sure that their employees have some time to eat, but also that they have enough money to buy food for themselves. They also need to make sure that there is enough money for an employee to take care of his or her family as well. Immediately following the psychological needs, come a persons need to feel safe, or free from danger. If a person feels threatened at a specific time at work than their mind is not going to be on work. People naturally have a need for self-preservation (Hierarchy, 2000). This would mean that someone would not want to work at a job that threatens his or her safety. Children can again be looked at to describe human nature. Most child psychologists have found that children need to live in a predictable world (Goble, 1970, p.39). Today in America not too many workers are put in very unsafe working conditions. The ones that are, are often paid well because of this danger. Managers do need to think about the safety of
