Which motivation theory, based upon the work of Maslow, identifies the three basic needs as existence, relatedness, and growth?
  1. ERG Theory
  2. Acquired Needs Theory
  3. The Hierarchy of Needs
  4. Equity Theory
Explanation
Answer - A - The ERG Theory, based upon the work of Maslow, identifies the three basic needs as existence, relatedness, and growth.

Key Takeaway: Clayton Alderfer is a psychologist who expanded upon Maslow’s hierarchy of needs by categorizing the main parts of the hierarchy into his own theory, which he dubbed “ERG” (standing for Existence, Relatedness, and Growth). Alderfer categorized the lower order needs of Physiological and Safety into the “Existence” category; the love and esteem needs into the “Relatedness” category; and the self actualization and self esteem needs into the “Growth” category.
