Which is not a need identified by Abraham Maslow?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Option 1 -> Security need is the second level in Maslow's hierarchy, focusing on safety, stability, and protection.

Option 2 -> Esteem need is the fourth level in Maslow's hierarchy, involving self-respect, recognition, and achievement.

Option 3 -> Belonging need is the third level in Maslow's hierarchy, encompassing love, friendship, and social connections.

Option 4 -> Hygiene need is NOT part of Maslow's hierarchy; it belongs to Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory (Motivation-Hygiene Theory).


Hence, Option 4: Hygiene need -> Hygiene factors were identified by Frederick Herzberg in his Two-Factor Theory, not by Abraham Maslow. Maslow's hierarchy includes physiological, security, belonging, esteem, and self-actualization needs, but not hygiene needs -> correct
