Even non-antisocial dynamics lead to organizational dysfunction. Looking out for your friends, preferring to associate with people like yourself, and being rewarded for loyalty are all natural dynamics in human relationships, but are often at cross purposes with an organization's mission.
The solution: good process and good-faith transparency, which takes work.
- mindgam3 8y agoI see what you’re getting at, but you are conflating some genuinely pro-social behaviors (loyalty and looking out for friends) with others which are more like human social defaults (preferring people like yourself). Also, if loyalty and ethics puts you at odds with an organization’s mission, #1, welcome to the real world, aka why I work for myself, and #2, probably a sign that that particular organization is dysfunctional. As opposed to all organizations. I agree with process and translarency. Although again in dysfunctional organizations these are the first to be gamed.
