"Recognition of achievement" is an organisational example related to which need of Maslow's Need Hierarchy Theory?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> Self-actualization needs relate to realizing one's full potential, creativity, and personal growth, not specifically recognition.

Option 2 -> Esteem needs include recognition, respect, status, and acknowledgment of achievements from others and self-worth.

Option 3 -> Affiliation needs (belonging needs) relate to social relationships, friendship, and being part of a group, not recognition.

Option 4 -> Safety needs relate to security, stability, and protection from physical and emotional harm, not achievement recognition.


Hence, Option 2: Esteem needs -> Recognition of achievement directly addresses esteem needs as it fulfills the desire for respect, status, recognition from others, and acknowledgment of one's accomplishments, which are core components of the esteem level in Maslow's Need Hierarchy Theory -> correct
