Abstract
The present paper reinterprets Maslow's hierarchy in a way that is consistent with Maslow's own characterizations of his hierarchy as (a) psychodynamic, (b) psychoanalytic, and (c) a hierarchy of character types. It is demonstrated that the resulting hierarchy represents the differential construction, or enactment, of social and organizational reality. The orientations toward work and work organizations of persons at each stage are derived.Keywords
