Discuss need-based and cognitive process theories of motivation

---

Need-based theories of motivation focus on an employee's drive to satisfy a variety of needs through their work. These needs range from basic physiological needs for survival to higher psycho-emotional needs like belonging and self-actualization. In cognitive process theories, Equity Theory explains motivation in the workplace as a cognitive process of evaluation, whereby the employee seeks to achieve a balance between inputs or efforts in the workplace and the outcomes or rewards received or anticipated.
