Maslow Theory Trapezoid of Modified Hierarchy of Needs Standard Reference Table

Abstract

The classical theory of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (MHN) reveals five levels of human needs causing different behaving motivation in social activities, which has been frequently and widely applied in many fields, such as management in companies and analyzing daily human behaviors, in which, however, the work methods and processes were not sufficiently convenient or delicate in practice. To improve the MHN functioning effectively and intuitively, it is critical and important to make some modifications to the classical theory and make itself theoretically self-actualized. This paper tries to modify and reshape the MHN Pyramid into a right Trapezoid of MHN (TMHN), from which the formula of TMHN is, geometrically, inferred after identifying the key elements of the trinity independent variables “y,” “i,” and “h” and the dependent variable “V,”  with which a complete Standard Reference Table of TMHN is finally generated, which will facilitate  acquisition of comprehensive recognition of MHN in an intuitive and concrete checking and comparing the results of some personal social behaviors, making the classical Theory of MHN widely closer to practical utilities, so that it can play greater guiding roles in education and other activities.
