Goal is anything — an
object or situation —
that we think we need
or want. It may be
something we want to
do, what we want to be,
or what we want to
have.
Need is what we don’t have or don’t have
enough of.
The well-known social psychologist Abraham H.
Maslow classified human needs and arrange them
in hierarchical order from lower to higher needs. His
theory of sequential development of needs states
that:
• Lower-level needs develop first in the life of a
person
• Once lower-level needs are satisfied or are on the
way to satisfaction, they assume less importance
in motivation because the higher-level needs
become dominant in motivating behavior.
 Value is something we have and which we prize or treasure. We
make choices to protect, defend or enhance it. A value is shown in the
choice we freely make. We are happy with the choice. If we value working
with others, we will always choose situations at work in which we interact
with others rather than working alone.
