：The control of an organisation・s employees by managerial attempts to follow a behavioural methodology is doomed to failure in every instance；. I am to discuss the statement above and decide whether to agree or not to agree, throughout this paper I shall discuss the reasons behind my answer. The manager・s role in an organisation is to stimulate the workers and bring a response out of the workers that will get the plans and tasks completed. As all workers are different the stimulus required will be different. The manager has to know how to get the best from individuals. There are a number of theories that the manager can undertake. I do not agree with the statement above, as there are a number of methods that can be used to control employees and get the best out of them. I may not agree with all the theories but they all have good points and bad points, managers should be using bits of all the theories. Maslow・s Hierarchy of needs 1. The physiological needs. These include the needs we have for oxygen, water, vitamins and minerals. Also, there are the needs to be active, to rest, to sleep, to get rid of wastes (CO2, sweat, urine, and feces), to avoid pain, and to have sex. Maslow believed, and research supports him, that these are in fact individual needs, and that a lack of, say, vitamin C, will lead to a very specific hunger for things which have in the past provided that vitamin C e.g. orange juice. 2. The safety and security needs. Once the physiological needs are largely taken care of, this second layer needs to be taken care of. People will become increasingly interested in finding safe circumstances, stability, and protection. A need for structure, for order, some rules or regulations may start to develop. People become concerned, not with needs like hunger and thirst, but with their fears and anxieties. In the ordinary adult, this set of needs manifest themselves in the form of our urges to have a nice home, a car, job security, a good retirement plan, and so on. 3. The love and belonging needs. When physiological needs and safety needs are, by and large, taken care of, we have to deal with the third layer. People begin to feel the need for friends, a partner, children, affectionate relationships in general, even a sense of community. Looked at negatively, people become increasing susceptible to loneliness and social anxieties. In our day-to-day life, we exhibit these needs in our desires to marry, have a family, be a part of a community, a part of a gang or a football club. It is also a part of what we look for in a career. 4. The esteem needs. Next, we begin to look for a little self-esteem.
