Maslow's needs hierarchy theory suggests that individuals have multiple needs, which are arranged in a hierarchy of importance. After securing physiological and safety needs, individuals tend to focus on higher-level needs such as social needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs. In this case, Gan has already satisfied his basic needs (financial security), so he is now looking to fulfill his social needs by developing stronger relationships with his colleagues.
