Detailed explanation-1: -The need for esteem is addressed in Abraham Maslow’s ‘Hierarchy of Needs’. Esteem is the fourth layer of Maslow’s five-tiered model of human motivation and is thought to be interrelated with the other levels of our needs (i.e. self-actualization, love/belonging, safety, and physiological needs).

Detailed explanation-2: -After the first three levels of needs (physiological, safety, and social needs) have been satisfied, esteem needs become more important. Esteem needs include issues of personal worth, social recognition, accomplishment, and self-esteem.

Detailed explanation-3: -Esteem needs: The fourth level in Maslow’s hierarchy include self-worth, accomplishment and respect. Maslow classified esteem needs into two categories: esteem for oneself (dignity, achievement, mastery, independence) and the desire for reputation or respect from others (status, prestige).

Detailed explanation-4: -Physiological needs are the lowest level of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. They are the most essential things a person needs to survive. They include the need for shelter, water, food, warmth, rest, and health. A person’s motivation at this level derives from their instinct to survive.
