Three friends, Rajat, Raman, and Ansh, after completing their studies from a reputed business school in Delhi, were discussing the organisation they should be joining. Rajat was very clear about his future. He would like to take a job in the government sector as it gives him stability in his future income and the kind of work which will help him to work with greater zeal. It will also provide him with many post retirement benefits when he retires from his service. Raman wants to work with a company which has an appropriate and clear development plan for its employees and helps the employees to grow to higher levels in the organisation. In addition to this, the company should also provide facilities like free housing, free medical aid etc. Ansh said that he would prefer to work with an organisation, which has a culture of individual autonomy that is considered by employees and provides employees with the opportunity for personal growth and meaningful work experience.

All of them have different set of expectations and needs of joining an organisation.

Rajat puts stability in job on a high priority. Stability of job belongs to which level of needs of Maslow's needs hierarchy theory?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

In Maslow's hierarchy, safety or security needs include physical security, economic security, job security and stability of income. Rajat prioritises a government job for stability of future income and post-retirement benefits, so his need belongs to the safety needs level.
