Maslows Needs-Hierarchy model of motivation

Maslow theorized that the individual, having satisfied all the lower levels of needs, now has the potential for self-actualization, a concern for the well-being of others or the state of society. Examples of self-actualized individuals include Eleanor Roosevelt and Mother Teresa. [Pg.237]
