Alderfer's ERG theory includes the Satisfaction-Progression principle, which suggests that once a lower-level need is satisfied, individuals seek to satisfy higher-level needs. In John's case, after satisfying his basic needs (Existence needs) and social needs (Relatedness needs), he is now focusing on growth needs by learning new skills and advancing his career.
