history of science knows many attempts to justify those or other motives of human activity, it seems that this issue at all to be seen in the context of the "eternal" questions, and put on a par with such as "Who am I", "what I"that "I can" and so on.Among the modern concepts that aim to answer the question about the motives of human activity can result in growth theory Alderfer, the doctrine of acquired needs of the developer McClelland, the concept of two factors Herzberg and others.
In the mid-fifties of the last century considerable resonance in the scientific world has caused Maslow theory of motivation, which scientists has developed, initially focusing on the need to create modern systems of management of social and economic behavior in the post-industrial society.
as the starting points of their doctrine, Maslow came from the adoption of such provisions, which then became the main prerequisites for formulating ideas of the theory of motivation.
So Maslow argued that human needs - an objective fact, in this case, at various stages of its existence, he can experience what some of them, then the other.Moreover, some of them may be inherent throughout life, while others - occasionally.On this basis, the scientist concludes that the existence of a hierarchy of human needs, and, consequently, of the reasons for which they are formed.According to the theory
Further, while some of them have already met, they, in turn, form the motives of "taking" of a higher level.Based on this ranking, classification Maslow took the form of a pyramid, the base of which he put the needs whose satisfaction is a priority.It - Physiological: food, rest, sleep and other factors, the elementary physical subsistence of the individual.According to the theory of motivation Maslow requirements already satisfied, induce human to activity, and, furthermore, their structure is dynamic - to replace one that is already satisfied, come others - unmet.
pyramid of needs Maslow, contains five levels (or stages).
the first stage are arranged those that provide basic human survival in the natural environment as a biological entity.This need for clean air, water, shelter, food, rest and so on.
The second stage is the need, on the basis of that form motifs in ensuring their own safety, and here the motivation Maslow includes not only aspects of a physical nature, but also social - it's motivations to perform well in order to have higher wages, live more comfortably, receive medical care, etc.
most common social needs of man -in recognition, communication, maintaining partnership and friendly relations in the organization and maintenance of collective forms of life located in the middle of the pyramid Maslow.
In the fourth stage of Maslow's theory of motivation provides the location needs to mediate and dictate the motives of high social level - to encourage activities that provide social recognition, achieving power status, claim to public recognition for the person to society.
heel step occupied needs, initiating the personal motives of social significance.Here the person is motivated to achieve high performance and creativity of their recognition by society.
Since theory of motivation Maslow suggests that due to the pyramid dynamic, that is, achieving one needs to form a new, and then tune to its satisfaction, it is important to imagine and to be able to answer the question, what happens when a person reachesthe fifth, the last stage of the vertex?
Maslow answers this question in such a way that the achievement of this level does not mean that it is happening, or the disappearance of some weakening demand action on the formation of motivation to work.
