It means satisfied need no longer remains a motivator and only the next greater needs can motivate an employee to perform further. This was later analyzed due to there is no certainty that these needs are consider as a motivation hierarchical order as recommended, therefore
Motivation doesn’t always follow the hierarchy as Maslow’s theory of needs.

After the performing the research, the information should be used to establish the appropriate performance management specialized for the organization. In addition, an effective performance management system should align
Today, organizations need to have a clear understanding of where their organization is and where it needs to be in the future to secure longevity and financial success (Moore, Ellsworth, & Kaufman, 2011). Organizations need to have a performance management system in place to stay competitive.

Performance management needs to contribute to the success of the organization while providing a positive impact on the employees. Therefore, the mission, goals and performance management should coincide with one another.

It does this by improving performance and developing the capabilities of teams and individuals.
Our performance management philosophy is to empower those whom we are working with. Giving them the opportunities to achieve their goals and improve the success of the team.We accomplish this by properly prepare employees in their current roles by setting expectations, utilizing HRM strategies to maximize success, and to evaluate overall output and productivity. It is our goal to trust those on our team and build upon each other's strengths to improve job performance.

They achieve this by managing the performances of all personnel within the company no matter who they may be. This can be attained by ensuring that everyone within the company truly understands what the overall mission and goals that have been set for them within the company. Performance Management system has a very distinct way that it can manage the performance of the entire company and as long as everyone understands the goals that the company sets forth than the company as a whole will meet those goals. The developmental objective is fulfilled by defining the training requirements of the employees based on the results of the reviews and diagnosis of the individual and organizational competencies.
