Wim, a second point in here ...
In the previous mail I rattled off a list of people I know who have similar
theories (to Maslow) about what makes people tick (in organisations) - what
motivates us and what makes us "happy". These come from my general business
management education, training and experience. I'm not a professional /
qualified psychologist either.
Several such names appear in this particular blog of mine
http://www.psybertron.org/2002_09_01_archive.html#85507820
Incidentally, the discussion in Lila and about Lila, and the quality level
at which Lila operates, always rang bells with Hertzberg's version of this
layered view of motivators. Those below you are simply hygiene, necessary to
keep life and soul together, those above may motivate you, but if not you're
in trouble - like Lila.
The pigeon-holes that Myers & Briggs use, are expressly Jungian "types", and
less obviously hierarchical layers - in fact positively not hierarchical for
reasons of political correctness - but it's easy to spot parallels IMHO.
I can dig up specific references for all these people if a Google search
doesn't hit them for you.

Dear Ian,
.......
Do you happen to know about a body of research of 'happiness' in different
populations all over the world taking (approximately) Maslow's categories of
needs as basis and trying to measure their relative levels of satisfaction?
There must be, I guess, as Maslow started a whole school in psychology,
hypothesized decreasing percentages of satisfaction when going up the
hierarchy and presented (in 1943) his theory as a 'program or framework for
future research'. (I'm not a psychologist. If you are, you will surely be
able to direct me efficiently to such research.)
........
With friendly greetings,
Wim
