According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, which of the following is the HIGHEST level of need?
Self-actualisation is the highest level in Maslow's hierarchy. It means realising one's full potential and personal growth. Physiological, safety, social and esteem needs all rank below it, and Maslow argued people seek the higher level once lower needs are reasonably satisfied.
- AEsteem needs
- BSelf-actualisation needsCorrect
- CSocial needs
Explanation
Maslow's hierarchy runs from physiological, safety, social (belonging), esteem, up to self-actualisation. Esteem and social needs both sit below self-actualisation, so they are not the highest level.
