Recommendation
Are people inherently selfish or selfless? In this Nautilus article, science writer Matthew Hutson shares new research about human behavior and intuition. He details a cybersociety simulation that quantifies why people act in their own self-interest or in the interest of others. He draws a connection between the results of the study and how companies and employees could benefit from cooperation rather than competition. getAbstract recommends these findings to business leaders and managers looking to foster a more cooperative work environment.
