Bipin has been an intern at the local bank for almost all of his final year of college. Lately, his motivation has suffered because the work he is doing is repetitive and makes little use of his college education. Today, his supervisor, Lana, approached him and asked if he would like to be part of a larger project for the bank-one that would be much more complex, challenging, and important. Feeling empowered to make a difference, Bipin agrees. He cannot wait to get started. According to Maslow, Lana is motivating Bipin by meeting which of his needs?

Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory states that individuals have five levels of needs, arranged in a hierarchical order from the most basic to the highest order needs. The fifth and highest level is self-actualization needs, which include a person's desire to reach their full potential, to become everything they are capable of becoming. By giving Bipin the opportunity to work on a more complex and challenging project, Lana is providing him with the opportunity to fulfill his self-actualization needs, which can be highly motivating.
