It suggests that can be motivated by needs from more than one level at the same time
It acknowledges the importance of the needs varies for each person and as circumstances change
If a relatively more significant need is not gratified, the desire to gratify a lesser need will be increased
Relationships between ERG Theory’s concepts:
Satisfaction-progression
Frustration-regression
Satisfaction-strengthening
Moving up to higher level needs based on satisfied needs
Satisfaction-progression
If the higher level need remains unfulfilled, a person may regress to lower level pf nerds that appear easier to satisfy
