Some Unconventional Thoughts on Understanding Behavior

Abstract

The article discusses selfish behavior and the pursuit for personal payoffs among people. It explores how the concept of selfish behavior is associated with the concept that people pursue only personal payoffs. The author believes there is a tendency for people to disguise the motives of their actions because of the negative connotation associated with selfish behavior. He believes that there is nothing wrong with this, as it helps employees, their superiors, and their subordinates work more efficiently together to better themselves. This, in turn, betters the organization.
