Detailed explanation-3: -According to Maslow, once a lower-level need is met, it never becomes dominant again. The achievement need suggests that behavior is strongly influenced by the desire for friendship, acceptance, and belonging. The trio of basic needs includes power, affiliation, and achievement.
