Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The theories mentioned (hierarchy of needs theory, ERG theory, two-factor theory, and acquired needs theory) primarily focus on identifying and categorizing human needs, their importance, the possibility of satisfying multiple needs with a single reward, and the existence of a hierarchy among these needs. They do not specifically address differences in needs between managers and non-managers, making option B the correct answer.
