Answer to Question 1

Secondary needs like power and order are more psychological in character and are learned from the environment and culture in which the individual lives. Examples of secondary needs include the needs for achievement, autonomy, power, order, affiliation, and understanding. Secondary needs often manifest themselves in organizational settings. For example, if an individual is to be satisfied with her job the rewards provided by the organization must be consistent with her needs. Offering a nice office and job security may not be sufficient if the individual is primarily seeking income and promotion opportunities.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
