Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (With Business Implications) | From A Business Professor

[@nathaliekramer9806]

I have always found interest in Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The pyramid gives great examples of what we need to survive and be happy through 5 different levels. As a future business owner, the way this video implements business applications into this pyramid helps my understanding a lot. If I can get all five levels of my employees met, I will feel successful. In order for and organization or business to be successful, the needs of employees need to be met first, and this video did a great job highlighting that.

[@baylorbattles5776]

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is such a fundamental concept in business, and this video broke it down in a way that really deepened my understanding. It’s fascinating how the different levels work together to create a foundation for personal and professional success. The emphasis on self-care as a key to contributing effectively to a company was especially impactful, giving me practical insights for my own growth.

[@FeliciaOdom24]

Trying to understand humans is one of the hardest things. I found this video interesting because it helped me understand myself a little more and others around me. I think the most important tier is self-actualization. I think we are our best selves when we reach this level. It is important to keep growing and be a better person than you were yesterday.

[@haileyedwards2506]

I liked how this video put Maslow's Hierarchy of need in a pyramid. I feel like the visual and examples for each one helped me to remember and understand each part a little better.

[@maddieholley6104]

I like how Maslow's Hierarchy is organized in this video. It helped me understand it a lot better than just looking it up on google.

[@freddymartinez3015]

I had previously learned about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. As we learned in class and from this video, its application to the world of marketing is extremely important. The illustrations and explanations for each level of it in this video were excellent!

[@isabellewandres6915]

I had an understanding of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs before watching this video, but I do think this video did a great job of explaining what it is and I did learn some new things. One of these things was that, before this video, I did not know how important Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs can be in motivation. Motivation is extremely important, and understanding what motivates us will help us become more successful.

[@jessicajohnson1199]

Maslow's is one of the most talked about topics in business classes, as it should be. This video really helped me understand it better. All of the levels intertwine to build a successful situation. It is so essential for people to take care of themselves in order to be more beneficial to a company. This gave me a clearer indication of specific things I need to be successful.

[@ravenm3437]

Many of my classes have brought up Maslow's Hierarchy before but we usually talked about how this pyramid shows us how to take care of ourselves so getting to see its affect on business is really interesting! I really enjoyed the video going over each category in such depth. The real world examples also helped me gain a better understanding of the video.

[@lanehutchinson4761]

Maslow hierarchy of needs is important for business students to study at some point through their term in college. I didn’t know much but after watching this video it gave me a clue.

[@0graham]

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs establishes a pyramid of Physiological , Safety , Love/Belonging , Esteem and Self-Actualization. This video holds important information to ones self about where they may be lacking in their life and what they can improve on. I had a great time watching this video!

[@garretttaylor2888]

This video of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs explains the 5 needs that we have as humans. I love the depth that it goes into. It doesn't only talk about the human side, but business side as well.

[@almadervis5362]

The first time I heard about Maslow's Hierarchy was in a psychology class in High School. I got a better understanding in my Marketing class with Professor Ma. The Hierarchy needs explain important things especially in the business world. I think an important one to point out is esteem. In the business world, it is important for management to recognized accomplishments done by their employees. It is important for that employee to feel respected and appreciated for their work. This was a very good and detailed video to describe the topic to those who may never heard of it before and to refresh for those who have.

[@brycemcqueary3850]

Maslow’s hierarchy is a very important concept in the business world. I have touched on it in some of my previous classes, especially Human Resources. This video does a good job of explaining the needs and giving examples

[@bellastrickland3132]

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a perfect visual to show what human beings need to be functioning properly. While the bottom 4 needs, Physiological, Safety, Love & Belonging and Esteem needs, are all deficiency needs. This means they come from a persons want to be rid of their "deficiency" and get what they are lacking. The top level, Self-Actualization, is a growth need. This is a need that people use to better themselves and grow as a person which is my favorite need out of them!

[@talishag6067]

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is one of my favorite topics ever, so listening to and getting more insight about it made me absolutely enjoy this video.

[@ryanmccarley8082]

The first time I learned about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, it was in my high school psychology class. Since then, I haven't thought about it's implementation within a business setting. This video did a really great job of putting it into perspective and giving a detailed summary of the information and how it transfers to business.

[@isabellalobue4505]

Thank you to Professor Ma for sharing this video with my MKT 101-03 class! Graphically describing Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs with these illustrations allowed me to view this concept from a different perspective. The business community with truthfully flourish due the motivations this provides.

[@layladervisevic4310]

Marketing 101: This video allowed me to get a better understanding about Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. I first heard of this concept in psychology class, however this video refreshed my understanding and connected it to business. I really enjoyed the concept of this video because it breaks down Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs in easy terms.

[@brideymorris1819]

I loved how well this video connected Maslow's hierarchy to business and an employee's needs within a work environment. It made some really good points and was explained in a clear, easy-to-understand way!

[@logggggs385]

Maslow's Hierarchy has come up in a lot of my classes, but we've usually discussed how it teaches us how to take care of ourselves, so learning about its implications for business is fascinating! The video went over each category in such detail, and I really liked it. I was also able to comprehend the video better thanks to the examples from real life.

[@sarahcampbell557]

I have seen how prevalent this theory is in my work. Maslow's Hierarchy of needs is very applicable to the business world and I feel like this video does a really good job of explaining that. The examples were also really helpful.

[@iamadangovea]

I loved getting to see this topic again. I first saw it in a freshmen intro class, but watching this was truly a great refresher. It is also awesome that this has a twist of a business perspective.

[@DayBreaker_365]

I have always been interesting in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Seeing it mixed in with business implications was quite fascinating. While watching the video it hit me just how many people in the world, are unable to obtain even the first level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs in business, and just how often I take my situation for granted.

[@alisamastrandrea1763]

I learned about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs in my Psychology class last semester. I was very excited to cover the topic and learn more about it in Professor Ma's class this semester. This topic is very interesting as it shows the motivation and needs behind why certain people act the way that they do. As a psychology minor, I get excited when psychology is able to work into other classes that I am taking!

[@kristalloredo6046]

Maslow's hierarchy of need has always been interesting to me. I've always thought of psychological needs to be especially important to people and I love that this theory recognizes that. I believe that having the knowledge of this theory can be very useful in life and in a business.

[@tabithaparker4150]

This was my first time really learning about Maslow's Hierarchy. It was very interesting to me to see how detailed it is and to see how it describes our motivation and drive to work. The illustrations really helped me understand.

[@camifiorentino7661]

I liked this video because of its inclusion of business implications. As someone who is about to (hopefully) enter the corporate world, its nice to see the real world examples of the hierarchy. I liked that it went through each tier thoroughly, then explained the business applications.

[@christopherabeldt8334]

The understanding of what humans need and what we strive for allows for a better understanding of how management can motivate employees. Obviously the needs for survival are important wages can cover these, management can use raw dollars to motivate, but adding additional benefits to fit safety needs are also great motivators.

[@pkmuffin14]

Thank you for this video! I love that it is divided into segments so the needs can be clicked on and learned about individually.

[@chloerussell6689]

Maslow's hierarchy of needs provides valuable insights for understanding employee motivation and creating effective business strategies. I think this video helped me get a understanding of connecting the theory to workplace applications and also have a better understanding and recognitions and personal growth within the job.

[@laurenmonteiro722]

I think the way Maslow's Hierarchy of needs is and important layout of success. Many believe success comes just from brains, however a lot more goes into it. I think this is a great way to motivate employees to use what they have to their advantage.

[@santizea4584]

I learned about Maslow's Hierarchy theory of needs in Prof. Ma's class this semester, and I wish we spent more time on it since it is an exciting way to explain and describe our motivation and drive to work. I feel that Maslow's theory helps us explain so much as to why we (as employees competing against each other) often put so much work, effort, and spirit into our jobs with the hopes of one day escalating higher up the corporate ladder. I loved how every level of the pyramid was explained in this video too, it was super easy to understand!

[@alyssamolina8904]

This video was very informational about how the hierarchy of needs can be applied to business and how one can market a business via a service or product. I appreciate how well put together this video is as well.

[@stephanierocha8448]

It's interesting learning about what motivates our behavior. From watching this video, I learned how managers are able to implement Maslow's hierarchy of needs in the workplace.

[@justinguerra5600]

Very Informative video. I learned about the 5 levels of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (Physiological, Safety, Love/Belonging, Esteem, Self-actualisation). It was interesting and beneficial to learn about how this hierarchy applies to the business world. This is valuable information for students as we will be looking to find jobs in the near future. Finding a position that satisfies this pyramid will lead to a happier employee, and allow them to achieve more success.

[@chase871]

Everyone has certain needs that they will have in their lifetime. This video does a great job providing information for business students trying to develop a career in the business world.

[@kelanmckay2019]

I learned about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs in high school but we never went into depth on each one as this video does. It is easy to understand how everyone has certain needs but this video explains what those needs might be.

[@maiyapena2286]

I am very familiar with Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs in various classes and it is interesting to apply it to different things, like a business. It explains so much by giving a general explanation of each level that is easy to apply to a number of things whether it is our lives or a business.

[@timursyzdykov1272]

I've heard of Maslow's pyramid before, but the video gave me more information. A. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is one of the most famous theories of the content of motivation, based on the results of numerous psychological studies. Needs are viewed as a conscious absence of something, causing an incentive to act. Needs are subdivided into primary, characterizing a person as a biological organism, and cultural or higher, characterizing a person as a social being and personality. Hopefully we'll come back to this topic later this semester.

[@matttraverso4592]

It's fascinating to me that all of these ideas make sense to me now that I'm learning them, but wasn't aware when I was just a consumer. This video makes the topics very easy to digest.

[@aidangregory354]

I had a great time viewing this video! The pictures used throughout the video are my favorite portion since they maintain my attention and are also really imaginative. This is the type of graphic format that my favorite types of instructional videos use, therefore I'm all for it! It's fascinating how you were able to combine Maslow's hierarchy into a business setting. Marketing Exam 2 Extra Credit Aidan Gregory Section 03

I think this video did a great job at breaking down Maslow’s Hierarchy Theory of needs. It definitely helped me get a better understanding of the concept!

[@graysonfeick6398]

I think that the application of Maslow's hierarchy of needs is really interesting as it is a way for employers and companies to get the most out of their employes and understand how to motivate them

[@bocautaerts]

I heard about maslow hierarchy in my marketing class with professor Ma. It explains our way of living and why we do things very much. Since i am very interested in the psychological aspect of business this theory is really interesting. This theory helps me understand human behavior in the business context. The different parts of the video make it very easy to understand this concept and how it is applied in real life.

[@jameslombardi3957]

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is a great way to motivate employees and all those in a workforce. The diagrams really helped with understanding the topic more considering I am more of a visual learner. I also believe that the timestamps were a great idea as they show when a new topic has begun.

[@selfmadetone2605]

This video is very essential and valuable. As a manager major it is important that i know how to lead and motivate people since i will be in a leadership position. Since people spend a lot of their time at the work place it is important i make everybody feel like they matter and cared for.

[@taylornicolosi4771]

Taylor Nicolosi - MKT 101, I found the diagram and explanation were great ways to describe Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. The video sections were broken down very well and provided definitions as well as examples for each tier. The time stamps were also very helpful and highlighted the video's organization. The animation was also very pleasing to view and I found the video to be very informative.

[@devonreilley4803]

This video was a great way to learn about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. I have heard of it before, but this video made it a lot easier to understand and comprehend. I like how the visuals in this video enhance the content. It makes it a lot easier for me to learn. It is interesting to see how this applies to many facets of life.

[@bettycarroll8139]

Psychological needs is probably the most important thing for people. Looking at how this goes up from psychological to security, and social needs. These are all great roots to a good life, I also believe this is the main reason a lot of people fall.

[@VIANEYFARFAN]

This video holds very valuable information about our needs and motivations. I think we should all make an effort to understand Maslow's hierarchy of needs if we wish to become leaders/managers. It is important to treat everyone with respect and compassion because the workplace is basically our second home since most of us are there more than we are at home.

[@julietciani4566]

I enjoy the diagrams that are attached when explaining the hierarchy , because not only does it help to keep my attention, it also helps to understand.It is also helpful that every level is thoroughly explained.

[@mattp8751]

I was first introduced to Maslow in a psychology class. After learning about Maslow's Hierarchy of needs in professor Ma's class I was interested to learn how it can be used in the workplace to keep employees satisfied in the same way it applies to our everyday life.

[@mttnbin]

I love all of your videos because of how detailed they are and the integration of real world examples. They are incredibly easy to follow and understand, and I always feel like I go away with such much more easy to digest information than if I were to just read the textbook. This video is no different. Although I had an idea of what Maslow's hierarchy of needs are, by definition, this video gave great examples that really helped me learned what each level of the hierarchy really entails and not just what they were in general. thanks for the great videos!

[@kevindolan2755]

I remember learning about Maslow's Hierarchy of needs in Behavioral Science class in high school. It’s interesting to see them applied to a business aspect. I really liked the specific examples in the video. They greatly help to visualize how the hierarchy applies to the daily life of most people, especially in their careers.

[@tylerprichard8011]

I really enjoyed this video because the hierarchy of needs is something that I have often heard reference to, however; I wasn't actually properly informed on what it was.This video answered an array of questions I had regarding the topic!

[@niasanai4468]

Thanks to Professor Ma, I feel that I have learned so much more about how Maslow's heirarchy of needs can be essential and important to business and marketing strategies. I did find level four to be very interesting, as I believe it is important as a consumer to feel appreciated by a company that you are giving your money to.

[@samanthasandoval4717]

Understanding Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a great tool to use when in helping build and retain employees. Having those conversations to figure out where they are in life and what they want to accomplish will help a company retain employees if they know how to help their employees succeed.

[@andrewrusso1417]

Great video! The graphics and animations made the video very easy to follow. I love how you took Maslow's Hierarchy and applied it the business world.

[@sethandrade3291]

Everyone has their needs and motivations. It is an important concept because business is all about making connections. Understanding the needs and how to apply them in a business environment can be the key to success.

[@ryancurbo6233]

Maslow’s hierarchy is always fun to discuss. Everyone needs the bases meet and some value different levels more than others. Cool to see this play out in the business world, whether with co-workers or customers, everyone has a need or a want they’re looking to fulfill.

[@mandisawalle2395]

MKT-101: This video was very informative and helpful! The presenter of the video really takes the audience into consideration, as it ensures to make use of illustrations and diagrams that allow the information to be presented in an easier manner. The video is also segmented into parts, in order to explain each and every level of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. This formatting of sections is also very helpful for the audience, in case the audience wants to repeat a specific section, etc. A great video overall -- the information is well presented and the audience is taken into consideration!

[@AidanMilanese]

This video showed me a new way to interpret Maslows Hierarchy of Needs, geared more towards the buisness world. The visuals and animations also help ilustrate the content being discussed well.

[@Emily-gy8ws]

Maslow's hierarchy of needs has been taught to me before but it was broken down so excellently in this video. It was interesting to think about what needs are and are not met with certain jobs and positions. Self-Actualization is certainly harder to meet as it is on a higher level, but it makes me wonder the percentage of how many people feel like their self actualization need is being met.

[@Yogahoe]

I think this is a good tool for figuring out people's progressive needs, especially since each person will have different needs fulfilled and unfulfilled.

[@victoriapadavona7859]

I enjoyed watching this video a lot! My favorite part is the illustrations involved throughout the video because it keeps my attention and it is also very creative. My favorite type of informational videos have this type of illustrative format, so I'm all for it! It's interesting how you took Maslow's hierarchy and were able to incorporate it into a business environment. A+ for creativity!!!

[@emilyplevritis]

MKT 101, Dr. Ma: I found this video very informational and simultaneously very easy to understand. One thing I found particularly interesting was that the only thing to be considered "growth needs" are self actualization needs, while the other four levels are all deficiency needs. I initially thought that at least esteem needs would be considered growth, since self esteem is something that can be grown within a person, but I now see how lacking esteem would translate to being a deficiency, and would subsequently become one's desire to grow their self esteem.

[@dennisonamara8035]

I take up from this video that companies may increase employee satisfaction and performance by recognizing and meeting these demands and fostering a more inspiring work environment.

[@leahgriggs132]

[@harleighwootton2209]

This is a great topic to be talked about class, and it is very good to be able to understand this in the business world. This really taught a lot of new things and will really help me in the real world.

[@theactualwaltdisneyog9544]

Looking at how the hierarchy plays into my own life I can see why there is so much weight added to this model. Past things that I may not have been able to interpret correctly have taken on a new color with something such as this to look to in order to explain some human behavior. The simplification that this adds to actions taken by managers is mightily helpful and I will be using it going forward.

[@victorhuerta9364]

Awesome video in showings what people are motivated by & what they value most. This can be extremely helpful for those of us who are looking forward to manage a company or open our own business. Work efficiency is one of the key factor to have a high turnover, which will eventually give a high revenue outcome.

[@sophiamasciarelli7963]

Sophia Masciarelli Marketing 101: This video taught me about the various levels in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs such as psychological, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self actualization as well as the things we do in our everyday lives that fulfill these needs. I learned that these needs are categorized into two groups which are growth needs, which are needs that come from our drive to become a better person, and deficiency needs which come from our wanting for things we don't have while wanting to get rid of things that are deficient in our lives. Learning how these needs can be applied in the business world is beneficial for me when I enter into future jobs and careers.

This is a very useful video for learning about needs and motivations and what exactly drives us. I think this topic is incredibly useful and I can think of multiple times that I have had the chance to use Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs for different assignments. I think this topic is extremely useful if you know the basics behind the concept.

[@josephbruno6083]

Maslow's Hierarchy of needs distills the different levels of need for an individual, and is extremely well-suited for the business world. In the post pandemic world, businesses are adapting to their employees needs, and satisfying their needs. The need of love/belonging is complicated by the trend towards working from home. Maslow's Hierarchy is as critical to the success of organizations today, as it ever has been.

[@spencergregory406]

Maslow’s hierarchy is a great way to signify a persons needs. The main issue with it in my opinion is that everybody’s need are different so it can be difficult to standardize it for everyone.

[@stormyshelton7969]

This is very interesting how how we feel about ourselves can be categorized like this.

[@courtlynbrown5266]

Recognizing what humans need and what we strive for is key to understanding how management can effectively motivate employees. While meeting basic survival needs through wages is important, management can also leverage financial incentives as motivators. Moreover, offering benefits that cater to safety needs can significantly boost motivation and job satisfaction.
