Employment Satisfaction and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Expansion Theory by the Pastoral Care Department

Abstract

The author decided to explore Maslow’s theory of needs within a Catholic hospital in which 80% of the medical and service staff are non-Christians. The requirements to be focused on include a vision of medical care and service in accordance with the values and mission of Catholicism, and in the context of the highest level of attachment of employees to Cardinal Tien Hospital. The author also wondered whether there was evidence of a shift in employee needs for a sense of meaning in the workplace. If so, how should, or could, the organization and its leaders respond to it?
