Bardwick describes three basic mindsets and shows the effect of each on individuals and their organizations:* Entitlement -- people feel entitled to rewards and lethargic about having to earn them; motivation and job satisfaction are low* Fear -- people are paralyzed; the threat of layoffs makes them focus on protecting their jobs rather than doing them well* Earning -- people are energized by challenge; tFrom boardroom to mailroom--how to break the entitlement habit that's killing American businessPsychology, IndustrialUnited StatesWorkPsychological aspectsEntitlement attitudesUnited StatesEmployeesUnited StatesAttitudesJob securityUnited StatesLabor productivityUnited StatesPsychology, IndustrialWorkPsychological aspects.Entitlement attitudesEmployeesAttitudes.Job securityLabor productivity658.00973Bardwick Judith M.1933-1010291MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910679769803321Danger in the comfort zone2336515UNINA
