Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maslow's theory proposes that once a certain level of needs is met, individuals aspire to fulfill higher level needs such as self-actualization, creativity, and personal growth. Performance-based pay may incentivize individuals to focus solely on the financial rewards rather than the intrinsic reward of fulfilling these higher level needs, which can ultimately lead to de-motivation.
