The drive-reduction theory only apply to physiological needs
The drive-reduction theory is an internal state where there is a primary need to produce a drive, the sensation of lacking such need, which inspires a drive-reducing behaviour.
The steps for the drive reduction theory is that the need inspires the drive, the drive motivates the drive-reducing behaviour, and then the behaviour occurs.

Optimal levels of arousal are the best for optimizing performance and motivation.
The correlation between arousal and performance is demonstrated by Yerkes-Dodson's Law Bell Curve.

Yerkes-Dodson's Law States that the relationship between performance and arousal is indirectly proportional.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs says that human beings have needs that need to be fulfilled in a particular order.
