5) Self Actualization or Self-Realization Needs: - These are individual needs for realizing his own potentialities, opportunity for creativity and for continuous development of the individual power and skill. In other words these are what a person considers to be his mission in life.
Criticism of Maslows theory of motivation
Maslows need priority model is a landmark in the field of motivation. This hierarchical concept of needs helps the management in understanding the human behavior of people at work. His approach is very simple, direct and practical. Apart from its utility, the concept has been criticized by the critics on the subsequent ground:-
1) This model may not apply at all times in all places and in all circumstances. It may not follow the sequence as postulated by Maslow.
2) There are many determinants of behavior than needs and desires. Thus, the behavior of man is not a outcome of his needs or desires only.
3) The approach also overlooks the inter-action of needs. A person is hardly motivated by a single need. Motivation is caused by several needs at a time.
4) People differ in their expectations significantly. The identical need does not lead to the identical response in all individual. For example: - People who have been satisfying their basic needs throughout their lives may not be very keen to satisfy higher order needs.

2) Second & 3rd Hours: - During second &3rd period the production reaches its peak .Then it usually falls off. This reduce in production reflects the presence of industrial fatigue.
3) 3rd &fourth Hours:-It shows recovery from fatigue due to rest hours .Then again the curve falls off more rapidly. The last hours indicates least production .This may not be due to fatigue but due to the tendency to quite early.
