One of the most important educational and psychological subjects that preoccupied the researchers in their field of specialization is constantly urging them to reach the reasons that lead individuals to adopt a certain behavior and refrain from other types of behavior. Human behavior does not arise from nothing. There must be reasons and motivations for each type of behavior that moves and guides at the same time.
Human behavior is purposeful behavior and its causes and consequences varied. The principle of humanitarian needs and the constant endeavor of individuals to satisfy them is the cornerstone of trying to understand the dynamics of human behavior. Needs are the focus of topics related to behaviors such as motivation, personality, conflict, anxiety, mechanical defense behavior, job satisfaction, and morale.
Man is distinguished from the rest of the living beings in abundance and the diversity of his needs that affect his behavior in one way or another. Each of us has his own needs, whether physiological, social or psychological.
Motivation is a driving factor in behavior and stimulates mental and motor activity. It is also responsible for what we observe in the activity that satisfies our needs. The motivation is not limited to moving the behavior, but extends to include the manifestations of activity that lead to continuous activity and perseverance to satisfy a particular need that may be A biological organic source such as thirst and hunger, or it may be a social need.

On the other hand, we note that other societies have natural resources and resources, which are supposed to make them nations referred to as sons, but disappeared among other societies. So the issue of progress is not dependent on the wealth of society, but on the good exploitation of this wealth, not the number of members of society, but the extent of exploitation of the efficiency of its members, not science, but the good use of science. All this can not be achieved and will be achieved only through the will and desire of individuals represented in their motivation to work.
There is no doubt that the trained and trained manpower is the basis of the progress of different peoples and nations. If they have the right conditions and satisfy their psychological, physiological and social needs, their role in giving and producing will be more useful and effective. Satisfying the needs of the individual can guarantee his satisfaction with his work and thus lead to the improvement and development of his performance. This is what aspires countries that seek to advance the people and improve their way of life that the individual at all ages need to achieve a reasonable degree of success and achievement and self-fulfillment in different areas of life . The value of achievement and investigation of an individual's life can be estimated if we imagine the person's failing situation, especially if his failure is in most aspects of his life. If we imagine a person who failed to study and also failed to make progress in his work and failed to raise money and failure in love or marriage to other fields, it is not difficult to realize what can reach this person from the bad and the complete imbalance of psychological distress may lead to To mental illness or worse than the disease

In the Velzac and Goldman study, there was a positive correlation between self-realization and assertiveness and gender differences were insignificant.
The Wall study showed that there was a significant relationship between the locus of control and the need for self-realization. (Walls, 1970: 282)
