Hierarchy

The major difference between hierarchy and heterarchy is the fact they hierarchy has one single ruler whereas heterarchy has multiple bosses or rulers in the organisation to deal with various matter and sort out problems and take major decisions for the business. The hierarchical organisation is found in majority in the present day and they are bureaucratic in nature contrary to that of heterarchial structure. As stated by Dam and Marcus (2007), the organisations that follow this hierarchical rule are the tall structures and the flow of communication is vertical in nature in these organisations. There are several managerial levels in this form of structure along with clear lines of commands at the same time. The employees need to follow the…

Hierarchy is a generally accepted term and often associated with positions given on the basis of social status—believed to either bring to order and solidity, or destruction and discrimination into society. Either way, it is an inevitable and existent model in society today; From the beginning of time, this model has been embedded within society through organized religions’, governments, educational institutions, occupational positions, in families, in the biological and chemical aspects in the…

The mother’s hierarchy is incompatible with her son’s most blatant one, because the latter’s hierarchy is almost solely designed to spite the mother. The mother, raised in a society of racism and white supremacy, is at an age where change is exceptionally difficult; additionally, she is described as innocent and childlike, making it difficult to picture her as someone who is racist consciously out of malice. Her hierarchy may be reliant on race, but it is a product of childrearing, rather than…

Psychology professor Abraham Maslow 's theory states needs that can be ranked in a hierarchical order. It is commonly know as “Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs” and exhibits a hierarchical pyramid of five levels. The most basic needs are at the lowest levels of the pyramid. Physiological or deficiency needs are dealt with in these low levels. The more complex needs are located at the top of the pyramid, and deal with growth needs.

7.1 How do societies rank people in social hierarchies? The ranking of people into various “classes” is a common practice in many of the world’s cultures.

Through Maslow’s Need Hierarchy Theory, humans can develop an understanding of what motivates people, how to learn management techniques, and what drives personal development. The critical aspect of Maslow’s theory is creating an environment that is suitable for “employees to fulfill their own unique potential or self-actualization.” (Chapman, 2014) What motivates people? This theory suggest that humans are motivated by needs. The five stages developed in the theory will help understand how each…

The puzzle of human motivation and goal seeking behavior has fascinated psychologists for years. Maslow proposed a hierarchy, a pyramid of needs and desires, with the believe that all humans are driven to try to reach the highest tier, but must first attain the needs from one tier before moving further up the pyramid. I feel that Maslow’s hierarchy is insightful but inadequate. It fails to encompass the wide range of behaviors displayed by humans, nor does it give understanding to the motivation…

Figure 1 shows, the needs that has been arranged in a pyramid direction. This hierarchical order ascend as from the bottom to the top one step at a time. This is because an individual need to be on the lower level in order to be motivate to…
