OK. AI says that some studies have been done. Which you would expect,
really, as psychologists try to support their pet theories.  :)
You could use the summaries to see which theory you like, then search for
more specific info.

Answer:

Several studies have been conducted on the theories of motivation,
including Maslow's hierarchy of needs and its alternatives.

   1. *ERG Theory*: The ERG theory has been used to understand the
   motivation of individuals in various contexts. For example, it has been
   applied to understand the motivation of employees in the workplace, with
   the goal of improving job satisfaction and performance ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

   1. *Two-Factor Theory (Herzberg’s Motivation Theory)*: Herzberg's theory
   has been extensively studied and applied in various contexts, including
   leadership, motivation management, and organizational development. For
   example, it has been used to develop motivation management programs and to
   improve employee job satisfaction ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
   <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3161123/>.


   1. *Self-Determination Theory*: This theory has been used to understand
   the motivation of individuals in various contexts, including education and
   healthcare. For example, it has been used to develop interventions to
   improve academic achievement and to improve the mental health of
   individuals ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
   <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3161123/>.


   1. *McClellan’s Human Motivation Theory*: This theory has been used to
   understand the motivation of individuals in various contexts, including
   education and healthcare. For example, it has been used to develop
   interventions to improve academic achievement and to improve the mental
   health of individuals ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
   <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3161123/>.


   1. *Nain Model*: The Nain model has been used to understand the
   motivation of individuals in various contexts, including education and
   healthcare. For example, it has been used to develop interventions to
   improve academic achievement and to improve the mental health of
   individuals ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
   <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3161123/>.


   1. *Murray’s System of Needs (Theory of Psychogenic Needs)*: This theory
   has been used to understand the motivation of individuals in various
   contexts, including education and healthcare. For example, it has been used
   to develop interventions to improve academic achievement and to improve the
   mental health of individuals ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
   <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3161123/>.

In conclusion, each of these theories has been used in various studies to
understand the motivation of individuals in different contexts. While these
studies may vary in their methodologies and findings, they all contribute
to our understanding of human motivation and needs.
