1. A Need’s based motivation theory is a theory which explains that the behavioral patterns of organizational individuals can be motivating and productive if the individuals make efforts individually for fulfilment of every required need (Hopper, 2020). This implies that every employee will have some common as well as uncommon need which has to be identified initially by every manager so that every need of every employee can be met. The working environment must be transformed into an environment where every need of every employee will be met to keep the employees satiated.
