What is the needs fulfillment model?

The needs fulfillment model is a framework used to understand how individuals' needs influence their behavior and decision-making. It posits that individuals are motivated to fulfill various types of needs, often categorized into physiological, safety, social, esteem, and self-actualization needs, similar to Maslow's hierarchy of needs. By addressing these needs, organizations and leaders can enhance motivation, satisfaction, and overall well-being. This model emphasizes the importance of recognizing and responding to diverse human needs in various contexts, such as workplaces or educational settings.
