    Alderfer's motivation theory

    Explanation:

    Clayton Alderfer developed a simplified version of Maslow's hierarchy theory called the ERG theory of motivation. Alderfer reduced Marlow's five needs to only three basic needs:

    Existence Needs: can b defined as survival needs, e. g. food, love, shelter, etc. Relatedness Needs: as social beings, humans need social appreciation and recognition, e. g. family, friends, colleagues, etc. Growth Needs: the need to develop and grow in a personal level

    Since Clayton's employer did not satisfy his growth needs, he turned to his colleagues to satisfy his relatedness needs.
