“Human needs are a powerful source of
explanation of human behaviour and
social interaction. All individuals have
needs that they strive to satisfy, either by
using the system acting on the fringes or
acting as a reformist or revolutionary.
Given this condition, social systems must
be responsive to individual needs, or be
subject to instability and forced change
(possibly through violence or conflict).”

Maslow’s theory assumes that a person attempts
to satisfy the more basic needs before directing
behavior toward satisfying upper-level needs.
Lower-order needs must be satisfied before a
higher-order need begins to control a person’s
behavior.
A satisfied need ceases to motivate.

7. CHANGE THEORY
This theory depends on the presence
of driving and resistant forces. The driving
forces are the change agents who push
employees in the direction of change. The
resistant forces are employees or nurses
who do not want the proposed change. For
this theory to be successful, the driving
force must dominate the resistant force.
8. Driving
Forces are forces that
push in a direction that causes
change to occur.
They
cause a shift in the
equilibrium towards change.
9. Restraining
forces are forces that
counter driving forces. They oppose
change.
Restraining forces cause a shift in
the equilibrium which opposes
change
10. Equilibrium
is a state of being where
driving forces equal restraining forces
and no change occurs
Equilibrium can be raised or lowered
by changes that occur between the
driving and restraining forces

◦ within the organization
◦ between the organization and the

Organization as ORGANISM
“A set of elements standing in
inter-relations”
17. 1.
All phenomena can be viewed as a web
of relationships among elements.
2.
All systems have common patterns,
behaviors, and properties that can be
understood and used to develop
greater insight into the behavior of
complex phenomena.
