they dont think they will make more or less money if their employees have a good social relationship at work. many of them think it would decrease the amount of productivity to get the work done. but in actuality having positive social relations in the work place helps motivate the workers and keep good work performance.

[Richard Lively]

competition inspires production and consumption.  Allowing someone to be too strong shows less dominance so keeping the worker at a negative ratio to management keeps them manageable.   Competition also divides, unity is strength and most managers dont want unity unless is in obedience only not inspired thought.  Division is the key to control and this is what keeps the machine a machine and not a soul

[Ralitza]

We do not have a society built on the understanding of human needs ……

….. at least not yet.

But the new society is under construction, as we speak. We have to believe in that. We can not afford not to.

[Innocent Mushiya]

[Rivka]

The lack of information of the importance of positive social relations.
