The motivational framework: experienced need deficiencies, search for ways to satisfy needs. Process framework: content/needs theories - focus on those needs that must be met in order to motivate individuals, process theories - focus on the underlying processes (mechanisms) involved in motivating employees. Maslow"s hierarchy: self-actualization: desire to develop one"s true potential to fullest extent, esteem: need or feeling of adequacy, competence, confidence, independence, strength.
