It is also important to note that individuals are motivated to strive for more whether they are satisfied or deprived of those needs (Maslow, 1943). For example, if an individual’s basic needs are fulfilled, his or her new sets of goals in the next level will emerge but when he or she is deprived of basic needs, he or she will be motivated to satisfy
