Rethinking the Place of Love Needs in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
In this article, the author Or Oved introduces the idea that the Love level need should be placed below safety and security in Maslow’s Hierarchy. Her argument essentially states the need for love should be placed second in the hierarchy to physiological needs because it precedes the need for safety. Thus without the connection formed in meaningful relationships, the concern for safety and security would not exist. Oved introduces an interesting twist to Maslow’s hierarchy by asserting that intimate relationships with family and friends drive the desire for personal safety. Her perception is that interpersonal relationships are the true motivator that drives people to create safety and security for one another and society.

Cultivating Employees Using Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
In this article, the authors, Carol Stewart, Omid Nodoushani, and Jason Stumpf use Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs to define the importance of workplace happiness. They use Maslow’s theory to explain the workplace environment through the hierarchy of needs triangle. Their assertion is through the use of Maslow’s theory management is better able to create a harmonious workplace by meeting their employees in each tier of the pyramid. It is only but doing so that a business will truly maximize the potential of their workforce. They are able to associate each tier of Maslow’s pyramid to practices and corresponding needs that each person desire in their career. This perspective correlates the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory directly with the operations of the workplace and management of personnel.

INTRODUCTION (1 page)
• Capture the attention of the reader with an introduction, ending with a strong thesis
statement centered around these two questions: Does Maslow’s research reveal to us
that in order to achieve our full potential we need to be an interdisciplinary person and
thinker? Why or why not? Be specific and explain your answers. Does Maslow’s
research reveal to us that the key to self-actualization is interdisciplinarity? (see
CONCLUSIONS section for more details.)
BODY (6-8 pages)
The bulk of your paper should be in evaluating each of Maslow’s needs levels. Each level
should contain the following.
• Basic (Physiological) needs (1-2 pages)
o An overview of the basic physiological needs.
o Discuss how other disciplines are using this level as described in the articles.
o Give your personal reflection and insights about this level of needs. How
does it relate to your life?
• Safety needs (1-2 pages)
o An overview of the safety needs.
o Discuss how other disciplines are using this level as described in the articles.
o Give your personal reflection and insights about this level of needs. How
does it relate to your life?
• Love and belonging needs (1-2 pages)
o An overview of the love and belonging needs.
o Discuss how other disciplines are using this level as described in the articles.
o Give your personal reflection and insights about this level of needs. How
does it relate to your life?
• Esteem needs (1-2 pages)
o An overview of the esteem needs.
o Discuss how other disciplines are using this level as described in the articles.
o Give your personal reflection and insights about this level of needs. How
does it relate to your life?
• Self-Actualization needs (1-2 pages)
o An overview of the self-actualization needs.

CONCLUSIONS (1 page)
By its very nature Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs pyramid contains interdisciplinary
components. It includes aspects of all three areas of knowledge that you have studied in this course
(humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences) and includes disciplines ranging from biology to
art and creativity. You have identified and defined the disciplines associated with each of Maslow’s
needs levels. You have also explored each level in the context of your own life. In your conclusion,
give us your critical analysis of these two questions: Does Maslow’s research reveal to us that in
order to achieve our full potential we need to be an interdisciplinary person and thinker? Why or
why not? Be specific and explain your answers. Does Maslow’s research reveal to us that the key to
self-actualization is interdisciplinarity? Why or why not? Be specific and explain your answers.
