Motivational Theory
There has been a lot of argument as to the credibility or lack thereof, for this theory. However although unintended for management theories for motivation by Maslow; in practical terms if there is a manager with a small team of deflated workers, it's a little start, a 'so basic it might just help' theory that when a manager, whose head is full of figures and responsibilities that are so far away from the likes of arguments of principals and credibilities or science versus pyscho-babble, that when that manager thinks yes that might help! I'll put a drinks vendor in the office, or i'll put a security light up just by the exit where some workers stand at night waiting to be picked up, or lets have one to ones to address peoples goals, then that is when something as incorrect or not may just make that bit of a difference to peoples spirits, maybe even just for one day, but it could just add a bit of warmth to a usually cold, mundane place. That in that sense may just turn out to be more important to those people than even whether the earth go round the sun. On that day at least!
Energy Hierarchy link in the See also section.
I apologize if I'm completely missing something here, but I wonder, how is the Energy Hierarchy article link relevant in the "See also" section of an article about Maslow's theory of hierarchy of needs?
Blackfoot?
Apparently there are allegations that Maslow based the hierarchy on the beliefs of the Blackfoot people, with whom he spent much time and to whom he gave no credit.

How should this be presented within the article, if at all? DS (talk) 21:49, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
so called "attachment theory"
HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!
"attachment theory has since been extended to provide explanations of nearly all the human needs in Maslow's hierarchy, from sustenance and mating to group membership and justice.[19]"
If that were so, wouldn't it have at least one word of explanation and so forth?? Please correct.

- The references used here do not even support the connection to the topic, so I've removed it entirely. Iikigaii (talk) 20:50, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
typo in the pyramid infographic
The text embedded within the infographic says "physiolgical" instead of "physiological". Noting it here since I don't know how to fix it. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Maslow%27s_Hierarchy_of_Needs.jpg says I can't overwrite it. --2604:2000:1483:694:4968:80BF:331:94DD (talk) 16:55, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
