Safety need : These are the need connected with protection, This is the state of having an assurance of adequate sustenance of shelter after which an individual will then look for a measure of security, and also look for the protection against the fall in the standard of living. An individual will seek for security in their place of work , in other words, An individual will seek for job security. When such threat to individual safety had been removed then the individual will feel safe, and will move to the next in the hierarchy of need.

Social need: These are those need which motivate a person to participate actively in the social environment both at work and in the larger society.
