Alderfer’s ERG Theory of motivation was developed by Clayton Paul Alderfer. He further expanded Maslow's hierarchy of needs by categorizing the hierarchy into his ERG theory of motivation (Existence, Relatedness and Growth).
- He categorized the lower order physiological and safety needs into the Existence category.
- He fittted Maslow's interpersonal love and esteem needs into the Relatedness category.
- The Growth category contained the self actualization and self esteem needs.
He then proposed a regression theory to go along with the ERG theory. He said that when needs in a higher category are not met then individuals redouble the efforts invested in a lower category need. For example if self actualization or self esteem is not met then individuals will invest more effort in the relatedness category in the hopes of achieving the higher need.
