According to Alderfer's ERG theory and its frustration-regression principle, if an individual is frustrated in their attempts to satisfy higher-level needs (e.g., growth needs, such as a more challenging job), they may regress to seeking fulfillment of lower-level needs (e.g., relatedness needs, such as social support from their boss).
