Motivational Theory
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory Maslow has predicted that a hierarchy of needs motivate employees, with the satisfaction of one need leading to another (Cassidy and Kreitner, 2010). Although the employees are not consciously aware of the progression, they escalate the needs hierarchy.

ERG model
A similar theory is the ERG theory (Existence- Relatedness- Growth) that stresses the growth of human motivation to progress over three levels of hierarchy. The theory, developed by Alderfer, also specifies employee to be motivated by more than one factor at a time. The theory also stipulates that a frustration in a higher level of hierarchy shall lead to the want of enhancing the lower lever need (Aswathappa, 2014).
