Hierarchy of needs

The last item is exemplified by typical expressions used by proactive and reactive individuals. For example, a reactive person is likely to say, There s nothing we can do, while a proactive individual would probably say, Let s look at our alternatives. Other reactive-proactive contrasts are I must versus I prefer and They make me angry versus I control my feelings (Covey 1990). 

As a student or entry-level professional, try to understand the needs and motivations of the people around you, particularly those with whom you must work to carry out your responsibilities. Although you may not share much of what you hear and see in terms of personal philosophy, respect and try to understand the individuals who hold those philosophies. Recall the powerful idea of empathetic listening discussed in Chapter 3. One of Covey s (1990) seven habits of highly effective people is appropriate seek first to understand, then to be understood.

For the sake of clarity, this chapter will divide between first considering the merits and importance of acknowledging philosophically and practically that drugs are not just the problem of the presenting individual, but of their families too. It will then focus on the particular problems encountered by children of parents who are drug dependent. Inevitably the greater potential vulnerability of children of parents with drug problems imposes a necessary hierarchy of need and response. The important point however, is that the protection and welfare of such children is not just about the parent and the child but about the extended family too.

There is a straightforward model of human motivation—Maslow s (1987) hierarchy of needs—that is a favorite of management theorists and practitioners. The model is popular because it is relatively simple to convey and fairly easy to apply in practical situations. 

More than 50 years ago, psychologist Abraham Maslow created what he called a hierarchy of needs. It was a pyramid representation of what human beings needed most in life, in order from the most importanttothe least. Obviously, the most important needs are the ones people have to have to survive, such as air, food, water, and shelter. Beyond that, however, was the need to belong and fit in with others. It is a powerful drive in humans and nowhere is that made clearer than in the typical high school, where differentness, as Midler calls it, is a curse.

By moving up higher in the hierarchy of needs, to the need for social acceptance, social control mechanisms can be constructed that do not use up so many human and physical resources. You need fewer policemen and jails. One such method is used in what are called shame cultures. Building on the natural desire to be accepted, the harmony of the group is stressed. Children are enculturated and conditioned to feel especially bad when this harmony is disrupted. If people knew that you had done such-and-such a forbidden act, you would be so ashamed, you would disgrace them as well as yourself, and the harmony of the community would be shattered.

Maslow Maslow developed a hierarchy of needs. The concept has been quite popular. His theory is a content theory that looks within an individual for variables that effect desired paformance. His hierarchy consisted of five classes of needs ranked in importance fi om low to high. He thought that needs at the base of the hierarchy required satisfaction first. Higher... 

Of course, once the food market at the current price is satisfied and prices drop, other markets may be able to use sugar before the price reaches the fuel price. Another large market that can afford to pay a nutritional premium is the animal feed industry, which now is a large user of molasses. Thus, there is a hierarchy of needs emd willingness to pay, in the order food, feed, then fuels. Further consideration of other markets leads to the extended hierarchy shown in Table I (with apologies for the forced alliteration).

Figure 16-15 compares Maslow s motivation theories to safety. Maslow s hierarchy of needs as illustrated (the order of needs that people want) shows how people feel. Note that there is a comparison to the self-actualization safety approach [2,8]. 

However, if Maslow s hierarchy of needs,t including the physiological level, safety level, and belonging level, is present in the current environment, employees should gradually feel more confident in the safety arena and achieve a level of self-esteem and respect for thanselves and their fellow employees. As this confidence grows, employees will move to the self-actualization level within Maslow s hierarchy, where employees spontaneity and creativity within the safety function will emerge. Safety and health professionals should strive to create and maintain an environment where employees basic needs are addressed and employees can grow and prosper within the safety function. 

Explain Maslow s hierarchy of needs as it applies to the safety and health function. 

Developed in the 1950s, Abraham Maslow s hierarchy of needs theorizes that humans are motivated by five needs. This theory perhaps best exanplifies the point of motivation and safety. Maslow s theory is to be viewed as a foundation model. Meaning that the pyramidal levels of need rely upon the preceding level for foundational support.
