Lamar was happy with his position within the organization. One day at lunch he overheard a couple of colleagues talking about a new recognition program that would honor an Employee of the Month, and that employee would get to go to lunch with the boss. Lamar and his family were just making ends meet, and with another baby on the way, his salary was most important to both him and his family. He really couldn't care less about the lunch with the boss. Which level of needs in Maslow's hierarchy does this reflect?

Answer: Physiological needs

Explanation: As per maslow's theory every individual have five stages of needs and those should be satisfied in that order only. The first stage in the hierarchy is physiological needs.

In simple words, these needs refers to the factors that are essential for the existence of an individual like food, water, shelter and clothes etc.

In the given case, Lamar is not interested in any kind of recognition as he is merely fulfilling his physiological needs.
