Hierarchy of Needs
Hi there. I was just reading through your book chapter and noticed you are discussing Maslow's hierarchy of needs and thought you could include discussion about how this theory is not well supported. Instead you could look into Alderfer's ERG theory, which outlines three main categories of growth, relatedness and existence. In a sense the ERG theory explains faults with Maslow's model, being that a lower level need (food), must be achieved progressing up the pyramid. Here is a quick link to a summary of them: https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/48561978/A-summary-of-motivation-theories1-with-cover-page-v2.pdf?Expires=1630033006&Signature=Y12kSUK8vfEwHjilQmfeWpJJYpkKiivTvqrsEGc0xKlE2yVA3IsgnN3ftZOc8ttro9EM2cVq4sEluP-RmGcH7B4XeJNAB-pjGFjydKBwsdbRKtIKjOpmTtoeU6J0FavQcGzScKK8XruV3CuWWJQ79yXafViiSrB4JL-MTSZm3nJB8aVm3GjDIy9TrFAZRomB62rDu8Jz3uKdTtepVnfEG8dVJCSiqolQs9viKdD0iCt0Tf89qLUCFnt-8mzb~iPyyrCq~c0jK-xYrD6FMslQNUwrcW4cvCA1pc6A9QJ1dyA9MMItGV2rUtxo6Pkj-hkrwLWHrR9ZTGL3AOfMGYScLg__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA Best of luck with your book chapter! --Anna u3200574 (discuss • contribs) 01:58, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Article
Hello! Very interesting topic you have chosen. I can see a lot of time and effort has gone into your book chapter so far. I just have one suggestion to enhance your book chapter: Perhaps you could use some more interactive content such as quizzes or "did you know" boxes. I can see you have a case study there which is great! I found this article which relates to your topic: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0001879121001032 It is about how beneficence impacts meaningful work and the relationship between the two. The articles title is ''What makes work meaningful? Longitudinal evidence for the importance of autonomy and beneficence for meaningful work'' Hope this helps and keep up the hard work! Cheers. --U3202023 (discuss • contribs) 07:22, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

== Length of chapter

Hey there I love your chapter, it feels very interactive with all of the feature boxes and the quiz is a great idea to revise knowledge! I noticed when I did a word count of your chapter (just out of curiosity) that it is about 600 words over the 4000 word limit, so I thought I could provide some suggestions for shortening the chapter. I hope these suggestions can be of help as you are revising! --Ashley Sanders01 (discuss • contribs) 08:56, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Shorten the length of the case studies: I love the inclusion of these but I think they could be shortened and simplified with dot points at the end instead of the big paragraphs?
 * Do you need the tables for beneficence? I know that is what the chapter is about but I feel as though you have already covered all of those points in previous sections.
 * Remove the "Links" section and instead try to imbed them throughout the sections of the chapter that you have already developed.

Suggestions and Comments
Hello,

I enjoyed reading your chapter, it expanded my knowledge on beneficence as it was not really something that I was familiar with. I believe you put in a good deal of effort which was easy for me to see.

I do have a couple suggestions that would improve your chapter if you wanted to work on it. One is in regards to your referencing, there were a couple inconsistencies with not italicising the journal publisher, and with capitalising the wrong words, for example, you capitalised the word of which does not need to be. I also think your quiz could have had some trickier questions, and perhaps additional questions too.

Overall though, I thought you did a nice job.
