iii.Drives: The frustration drives the individual to look out for alternatives to satisfy his need.
iv.Behaviour: Among the various alternatives he chooses one and starts behaving according to it.
v.Satisfaction: After following a particular alternative for some time, he assesses if his need is satisfied.
vi.Reduced Frustration: Once the need is satisfied, the frustration and tension of the individual finally gets reduced.

He may think of working harder and improving his performance. After consistently working hard, he may get recognition and the promotion that finally satisfies his want and reduces his frustration.
