Research on the Incentive Issues and Countermeasures for Civil Servants Based on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Theory

In the process of advancing diverse national affairs, thousands of grassroots civil servants play a crucial and indispensable role as dedicated servants of the state and the people, significantly contributing to the development of the country's undertakings. They are not only crucial to the construction of the national cadre team but also in line with the talent development strategy. However, a thorough analysis of China's civil servant incentive mechanism through the lens of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory uncovers numerous persistent problems within the system. In recognition of these challenges, it is proposed, under the guidance of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory, to explore and provide referential experience for the construction and improvement of China's civil servant incentive mechanism. Therefore, dissecting the current incentive mechanism and actively seeking effective improvement measures under the guidance of this theory has emerged as an urgent and significantly important issue that requires immediate attention and resolution.
