In the problem, Mari is doing everything to provide for her family which means Mari is motivated by psychological needs according to Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs.  Psychological needs are the main needs of human in order to survive in daily life such as food, clothing, shelter, and water.  Mari accepted the job opportunity at the fast food restaurant in order to have money in response to these psychological needs.  Though her position is a step down from her previous job, but that also means that she can provide for her and her family’s needs.  Not fulfilling the psychological needs makes human body not functional, so psychological need is the first and most important needs of the human beings.

Maslow's Theory of Motivation has many hierarchies. The basic one is based on Physiological Needs.

The second level is Safety Needs, the third one is Social needs, and then Self Esteem and Self Actualization come in the hierarchy.
