Abstract

This article focuses on Maslow’s theory of hierarchy of needs, which has been criticized for lacking scientific evidence towards an effective municipal infrastructure management system. To ameliorate this, we contend that 21st-century management is not limited to the cardinal direction of motivation from the bottom hierarchy to the top hierarchy, as indicated by Maslow. We also argue that Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory did not take cognizance of innovations and situational advancements embedded in societal dynamism. Our argument is located within the principles of the interpretive paradigm. This paradigm enables us to analyze the deficiencies inherent in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs within the 21st-century needs assessment perspective and re-establish the necessity for the novel motivation needs theory to cater for the changing world. In doing this, we engaged conceptual analysis as a method of analyzing or making sense of perceived complex concepts towards meaning-making. We conclude that an inclusive infrastructure needs assessment must be geared towards a reformed approach of people’s satisfaction, which informs the necessity to reconstruct Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory. The needs satisfaction of the populace or community should be of prime importance, in addition to ensuring that people’s satisfaction is met towards enhancing and promoting socio-economic growth and development.

重建亚伯拉罕·马斯洛的需求层次,以实现包容性基础设施发展需求评估
马斯洛的需求层次理论因缺乏有效的市政基础设施管理体系的科学依据而受到批评。为了改善这一点,我们认为,21世纪的管理并不局限于马斯洛所指出的从底层到顶层的基本激励方向。我们还认为,马斯洛的需求层次理论没有认识到社会动态中嵌入的创新和情境进步。我们的论证是在解释范式的原则范围内进行的。这一范式使我们能够从21世纪需求评估的角度分析马斯洛需求层次理论的内在缺陷,并重新确立新的动机需求理论的必要性,以适应不断变化的世界。在此过程中,我们将概念分析作为一种分析或理解感知到的复杂概念的方法。我们得出的结论是,包容性基础设施需求评估必须面向人们满意度的改革方法,这表明有必要重建马斯洛的需求层次理论。除了确保满足人民对加强和促进社会经济增长和发展的满意之外,满足民众或社区的需要应该是最重要的。
