	These needs are substituted for the needs in Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The existence needs relate to the physiological and safety needs, the relatedness needs relate to the belongingness needs, while the growth needs relate to the esteem and self-actualisation needs.		These needs are substituted for the needs in Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The existence needs relate to the physiological and safety needs, the relatedness needs relate to the belongingness needs, while the growth needs relate to the esteem and self-actualisation needs.

	The idea behind is that more than one stage may be motivational at one time. Alderfer agreed with Maslow that a person must satisfy the lowest-level need to begin with. When needs are satisfied it leads to a progression in the order (<i>satisfaction-progression</i>), but if it is frustrating at this level, the person may regress to increase the lower-level needs, which appears easier to satisfy. This means that a person will become frustrated, if higher-level needs remain unsatisfied. Then he or she has to go back to pursuing lower-level needs again (<i>frustration-regression</i>).
