How to motivate employees ？ Motivation is to find the needs of employees , And satisfy it .

Today I want to introduce to you “ Maslow's demand theory ”, After all, I want to better motivate my subordinates to create value , You first need to know what he wants . Right .

Maslow's demand theory was put forward by American psychologist Maslow in the 1940s . He divided human needs into five categories ：

First of all 、 Physiological needs ： The basic guarantee for people to live , For the company, it is necessary to guarantee the basic salary . The salary paid by the company must enable him or his family to live a normal life .

second 、 Security requirements ： seeing the name of a thing one thinks of its function , Security . For a company, it's office space 、 Office content must be safe , Salary payment should be stable . In fact, all other benefits are to find ways to improve the safety needs of employees .

Third 、 Belonging needs ： After satisfying the sense of security , And let employees integrate into the collective , Have a sense of belonging . such as , The company organizes a trip , Everyone wears uniform , Doing activities in teams is a way to integrate into the collective .

Fourth 、 Respect needs ： I hope what I do will be respected by others , Not just being respected in the company , It is also respected in society . For the company , It's not just about respecting employees' efforts , Respect the value it creates . what's more , Let employees make a good product , A useful product for many people .

The fifth 、 Self fulfilling needs ： Everyone has a dream , Self realization is to realize your dream . What the company should do is to combine the mission of the enterprise with the personal dream .

Although Maslow's demand is a pyramid , But that's not to say , We must first meet the needs under the pyramid , To meet the above needs . Actually , Everyone's five kinds of needs exist at the same time , It's just that everyone has different needs at different stages . You can't let someone who has just entered the workplace , To pursue self realization . conversely , You can't just use your physiological needs to meet senior experts in a field .

Last , There is another theory . Roughly meaning , If the company cannot meet the respect of employees 、 The need for self actualization . He will desperately pursue money . So if I only talk to you about money , You have to reflect . Whether other incentives are not given enough .
