Not necessarily; it depends on what one’s default or alternative theory would be.
Self-determination theory is the standard alternative theory I usually point to (which also incorporates the spectrum of exogenous vs. endogenous motivation, but which I don’t think the hierarchy of needs as usually conceived does).
Thanks for the link; that’ll be useful to refer to.
Of course, I on the contrary do think the hierarchy of needs is suggestive of this, as evidenced by the fact that I specifically interpreted it that way!
