Maslow's hierarchy of needs consists of five levels: physiologic,safety and security,love and belonging,self-esteem,and self-actualization.The essence of the theory is that a person's needs can be illustrated in a pyramid with the lowest-level needs forming its base.Subsequent-level needs are built upon this base,forming a hierarchical arrangement.A person's lowest-level needs must be met before the person is motivated to achieve the next level of needs;higher-level needs contribute to the individual's quality of life.
