b"A MEANINGFUL LIFE Apersonwhohasjuststartedtheircareerwillbemoreconcernedwith physiological needs such as a stable income and security needs. Once these basic needs are met, she or he will now focus on social needs.Once these needs are met, she or he will want to meet higher-level needs such as self-esteem needs. These needs are linked to the person's image and their desire for respect and recognition from others. Even if the person doesn't want to move into a higher role, they probably don't want to continue doing the same job for their entire life.Maslow's theory is based on five basic types of needs. Often represented, as levels in a pyramid, the needs residing in the lower levels must be satisfied before those of the higher levels can be met.1. Physical: the need for air, water, food, sleep. 2. Security: the need for security, shelter, stability. 3. Social: the need for intimate relationships, to be loved, to belong. 4. Self-esteem: the need for self-esteem, prestige, recognition of achievements. 5. Self-realization: the need to develop, to be creative, to realize one's full capacities.The first four levels are considereddeficiency needs.If we lack any of these levels, we can become distracted, anxious, or depressed. If all these needs are met, we are free to explore ourgrowth needsor our unique human need to grow as individuals.1.Physical Needs: our biological needsair, water, food, shelterare simple, but vital for survival, and when they are not met, put all other needs on hold.For instance, you must take a lunch break, but you are delayed for half an hour at the end of a meeting. Your body and brain react biologically and emotionally to the need to eat. When you arehungryyour ability to focus on your work steadily decreases as the urgency to meet your hunger increases.2.Security needs: security can mean feeling physically secure, but it can also mean a desire for stability, order, predictability, and control regarding, forexample,intheworkplace,pay,workinghours,structures,team building, workload and performance monitoring, to name a few.
