select table1.released_by, Usr1.name as released_name, ;
       table1.prepared_by, Usr2.name as prepared_name, ;
       table1.approved_by, Usr3.name as approved_name, ;
       table1.reviewed_by, Usr4.name as reviewed_name ;
From table1
INNER JOIN users Usr1 ON table1.released_by = Usr1.Name
INNER JOIN users Usr2 ON table1.prepared_by = Usr2.Name
INNER JOIN users Usr3 ON table1.approved_by = Usr3.Name
INNER JOIN users Usr4 ON table1.reviewed_by = Usr4.Name

This is of course if ALL *_by fields are full, if they are not use LEFT JOIN and NVL() function in result, like

lcSpace = SPACE(LEN(Users.name))
select table1.released_by, NVL(Usr1.name, m.lcSpace) as released_name, ;
       table1.prepared_by, NVL(Usr2.name, m.lcSpace) as prepared_name, ;
       table1.approved_by, NVL(Usr3.name, m.lcSpace) as approved_name, ;
       table1.reviewed_by, NVL(Usr4.name, m.lcSpace) as reviewed_name ;
From table1
LEFT JOIN users Usr1 ON table1.released_by = Usr1.Name
LEFT JOIN users Usr2 ON table1.prepared_by = Usr2.Name
LEFT JOIN users Usr3 ON table1.approved_by = Usr3.Name
LEFT JOIN users Usr4 ON table1.reviewed_by = Usr4.Name
