Question

Which of the following statements is not correct regarding the assumptions of the ‘Need Hierarchy Theory’ given by Maslow?

A.

People’s behavior is based on their needs

B.

People’s needs are in hierarchical order

C.

A satisfied need motivates a person

D.

A person moves to the next higher level of the hierarchy only when the lower need is satisfied

Correct option is C


Maslow’s Need Hierarchy Theory proposes that human needs are arranged in a hierarchy and that an unsatisfied need motivates behavior. Once a need is satisfied, it stops motivating the individual.
Therefore, the statement: “A satisfied need motivates a person” is incorrect because a need ceases to motivate once it is fulfilled. This directly contradicts Maslow’s assumptions.
Thus, the correct answer is: Option (c)
