Marissa was recently promoted at her job. She feels confident in her ability to perform duties and feels respected by her peers. According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, which needs has Marissa’s job fulfilled?
Explanation
Answer: D - According to Maslow, human needs are arranged in five tiers. A higher level need cannot be met until all lower level needs are fulfilled. In this example, Marissa has fulfilled esteem needs by feeling confident in her own abilities and being respected by her peers. Marissa is able to fulfill this need, because her lower level physiological, safety and belonging needs are already met. Without meeting her need for esteem, Cindy cannot attend to self-actualization needs.
