Which of the following is a shortcoming of Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory was originally developed based on observations of human behavior outside the workplace, and later applied to the workplace without being formally tested in that context. It is true that the theory is not limited to work settings, and there is no evidence that it relies heavily on the Pygmalion effect (a phenomenon where higher expectations lead to improved performance). The theory can also be applied to the piecework system, although it may require some adaptation. However, the lack of formal testing in the workplace is a significant shortcoming, as it means that the theory's relevance to work settings is uncertain.
