The Human Behavior Experts (Ya Gotta Love ‘em) Abraham Maslow: Needs Hierarchy Theory Safety is a human need secondary only to food, water, and air.
The Human Behavior Experts (Ya Gotta Love ‘em) V.H. Vroom: Expectancy Theory Motivation to achieve depends on: - Expectation of outcome from effort - Value of the goal - Likelihood of reward
