Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to propose a new model of economic behaviour in which activities are led by greed rather than by the traditional formal rules of capitalism. Design/methodology/approach This paper relies on the empirical observation of bad practices that developed in synchrony during the collapse of the former communist economic system and the rise of global financial capitalism. Both were fuelled by greedy behaviour of asset grabbing, and paved the way to an emerging greed-led economic system. Findings First, microeconomic individual greedy behaviours that drive asset grabbing are identified, such as rigged or corrupt privatisation drives, subprime mortgage loans, Ponzi schemes, lending to insolvent clients, bad loan securitisation, stock options, fraudulent accounting and online betting on fixed matches. Then systematic changes in the traditional formal rules of capitalism that favour those having adopted a greedy strategy are pointed at; greedy behaviour is institutionalised when these capture the state and successfully lobby for rules change. Contrary to capitalism, systemic greed uses asset grabbing, instead of capital accumulation, as its major means for wealth maximisation without constraint, in a winner-take-all economy beneficial to oligarchs. Research limitations/implications The implications of this new systemic behaviour have implications for further economic modelling. Practical implications The emergence of systemic greed will have implications for the design of regulatory systems. Originality/value This paper proposes that a greed-controlled economy is replacing the traditional capitalist economy.

Abstract:

In this study, we examined the association between CEO greed and corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance with a particular emphasis on the curtailing role of corporate governance. We found that CEO greed has a negative effect on CSR, since an uncontrolled pursuit of personal gain typically reveals myopic behavior and the foregoing of investment in CSR by a greedy CEO. Additionally, we found that CEO compensation in the form of large bonuses, support, and restricted stocks options weakened the link between CEO greed and CSR. Concerning the power dynamics amongst CEOs (CEO duality and tenure), we found that CEO duality moderates the negative relation between CEO greed and CSR. We also explored the curtailing role of corporate governance (proxies represented by board gender diversity and board independence) in the association between CEO greed and CSR. Our findings show that gender diversity curtails the negative effect of CEO greed on CSR once it reaches critical mass on the corporate board. Gender critical mass also curtails the negative impact of CEO greed on CSR, even if the CEO exercises duality. Our findings have empirical and practical implications. This study contributes to the existing literature by exploring the relationship between CEO greed and CSR in Asia, a region not renowned for CSR performance. This study also provides evidence for the curtailing role of compensation and governance factors in the negative relationship between CEO greed and CSR.

Abstract:

Abstract: Greed is best defined as the “experience of desiring to acquire more and the dissatisfaction of never having enough” ( Seuntjens, Zeelenberg, Breugelmans, & Van De Ven, 2015 , p. 518). The Dispositional Greed Scale ( Seuntjens, Zeelenberg, Van De Ven, & Breugelmans, 2015 ) is most often used to measure greed and has been validated for various languages, although not for Spanish. We present the first Spanish translation of the DGS. We tested two parallel translations of the scale ( N = 305) using two related but distinct words for greedy: codicioso and avaricioso. Both translations showed unidimensional factor structure, with acceptable reliability. Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis showed evidence for scalar equivalence of both translations. A comparison with data from a previous English version of the scale showed evidence of metric equivalence. Additionally, we found the expected relationships between greed and envy, materialism, need for achievement, and self-improvement. We conclude the DGS-Spanish has been successful in capturing the essential features of the DGS.

Abstract:

Evidently, a globalized society causes global environmental crises. Undoubtedly, survival of human life on the planet Earth is threatened. Is there any connection between globalization, environmental crises and psychological manifestations? What are the psychological perspectives linking the ecological damages from local to the global scale? This article explores such intricate relationships and discusses the implications. The underlying principal cause is human’s unending greed to acquire maximum materials and power to control the planet and entire humanity. The greed is believed to be a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction. The greedy people are supposed to have biological, psychological and sociological drives. Evidently, global destruction of the ecosystems and natural environment are directly or indirectly linked to unprecedented chronic human greed and self-indulgence. Undoubtedly, unencumbered chronic greed of a few elite institutions led by top capitalists has put the entire planet in havoc and infiltrated widespread sufferings at the global scale. Conclusively, psychological basis of environmental problems has a sociological and socio-historical scope within the frame of globalization. Psychological account of the environmental crisis is explained subsequently in this article followed by a case study of deforestation of Carpathian Mountains staged by a greedy Austrian man.

Abstract:

Imperative Vs with distinctive morphology either have a distinctive syntax (Modern Greek, Spanish), or distribute like others Vs (Serbo-Croatian, Ancient Greek). The contrast follows from properties of the root C. The first type has a strong Imperative V-feature in C, and under Chomsky's Greed Principle, Imperative Vs raise overtly to check this feature. The second type is the Wackernagel language, whose C hosts no features, but V-features are in I. If no phrase fronts, Vs move to C to support second position items. V-to-C affects all Vs, is last resort, follows Lasnik's Enlightened Self-Interest, and escapes Greed.

Abstract:

The article examines the relationship between self-assessment of human greed and assessment of the greed of the others. It has been shown that young people's perceptions of greed are ambivalent: greed is described as a defect, something bad that makes a person vulnerable, lowers his/her self-esteem, causes trouble, prevents him/her from living a full life and reduces the ability to acquire what is desired. On the other hand, young people pay attention to the fact that due to their greed they are careful about their own funds, control costs and consolidate resources for large purchases. The greed of others is also ambiguous: it can be an obstacle to satisfying the desires of young people, or it can be one that does not affect their goals achievements. The greed of the others is an obstacle to satisfying the desires of young people, achieving their goals. The assessment of the others' greed varied depending on the degree of these people intimacy. The characteristics of relatives, friends, people who they study or work with, were similar to the data obtained in the self-assessment of greed. However, when assessing the greed of the people who run the city and the country, the subjects attributed to them a higher degree of greed. The positive connection between the assessment of one's own greed and the assessment of the greed of relatives, friends and colleagues is determined. No significant relationship was found between the assessment of one's own greed and the greed of the people who run a city or country.

Abstract:

Greed is one of the most common features in human nature, and it has recently attracted increasing research interest. The purpose of this work is to study the age-specific characteristics of determining own greed and its evaluation in others. We continue our research on greed as a personal trait, the presence of which leads to the maximum satisfaction of our own interests, at the expense of the well-being of others or as a result ignoring their needs. The problem of greed gained momentum with the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic, people of all ages and social status were forced to redistribute their material and intangible resources, save and save,when the others, on the contrary, increased their wealth through economic changes. So how has this critical situation affected the greed in all age people and their assessment of the greed in others? The following methods were used in the study: correlation, comparative and qualitative analysis of the results obtained by the method of semantic differential, incomplete sentences, situational tasks and the author's method of determining greed. As a result, it is shown that young people more often than adults consider greed as a personality trait inherent in everyone. Adult subjects to a greater extent equate the greed for experiencing negative emotions - evil, fear and aggression. In both groups, greed is defined as own limitation that prevents one from enjoying a full life, but through greed you can control your expenses, save and be responsible for your consumer behavior. Researchers of young and mature age believe that the greed of others limits their ability to live comfortably, satisfy their desires, achieve goals and live in abundance. Young and adult people's assessment of their own greed and the greed of others is moderate. Self-assessment of own greed and assessment of the greed of family and friends are similar. The assessment of city and country leader’s greed is higher than their own assessment of greed.

Abstract:

“Greed,” says Gordon Gekko, “Greed is good.” At this point in the movie Wall Street he is acting as the spokesman for the American Dream, so he naturally emphasizes financial greed. Yet he is willing to include, “Greed in all of its forms,” including greed for life and greed for happiness. Since greed almost always means trying to grab too much, even when what is sought is undeniably worth having, he must believe that MORE is ALWAYS better. Michael Slote's counterpoint: moderation is generally preferable.

Abstract:

The concept of green economy has received significant international attention over the past few years as a tool to address the 2008 financial crisis. Governments today are seeking effective ways to lead their nations out of the crisis and the green economy (in its various forms) has been proposed as a means for catalyzing renewed national policy development and international cooperation and support for sustainable development. The aim of this article is to define and highlight the importance of the green (blue) economy and compare it with the so-called greed economy. This article is divided into different sections: after a brief introduction is a systematic literature review; the second section is about sustainable development and the green economy concept; the third is about the green economy and blue economy concept; and the fourth compares greed economy to green (blue) economy. Finally, the author will draw conclusions.

Abstract:

Purpose: The utmost aim of this article is to explore the concept of greed in various disciplines such as philosophy, sociology, economics, business, and religion. Moreover, this study also surveyed the literature to know the outcomes of greed. It is determined that in all popular disciplines of the world, greed is treated as an evil desire. While in the business context, against all the odds, greed is found as a driver behind some negative as well as some positive outcomes. Methodology: The concept of greed was surveyed in the literature of many disciplines such as philosophy, sociology, psychology, economics, and business. The concept was deeply studied and presented from the old literature of the world. Findings: Greed has been described from many viewpoints. This review found that greed is a drive behind some positive outcomes, such as individual and organizational performance, innovative workplace behaviors, and organizational innovativeness. Moreover, it is also found that greed can promote some negative outcomes such as envy and workplace deviance. Significance: This article has a value at both the scholarly and practice level. At a scholarly level, this review provides insights into the greed phenomenon from different streams of literature. At the practice level, the ïn ˛Andings of this study will help in e ˇ ffective and efficient management by understanding the nature and outcomes of greed. Limitations: This study only provides theoretical explanations of the outcomes of greed. Further studies should be conducted to empirically examine the said outcomes. Practical Implication: Comprehending the concept of greed provided many new insights and provided in the paper. Moreover, from this theoretical exploration of greed managers can understand the positive as well as the negative mechanism of such negative emotions in their employees.

Abstract:

In the past decade, interest in greed among empirical business scholars has emerged. It starts with the trailblazing attempt to analyze greed by Wang and Murnighan (2011), followed by the development of the Dispositional Greed Scale by Seuntjens et. al. (2015a, 2015b), which serves as a basis for the research done by Zhu et. al. (2019) and Bao et. al. (2020). However, since Seuntjens’ work, the overwhelming focus has been on greed as a disposition to “always want more and never being satisfied with what one currently has” (Seuntjens et. al., 2015b). Independently, Cheung (2019) proposed a more sophisticated philosophical analysis of greed, which argues that there are three dimensions of greed, and its dimension of unfairness has largely been neglected. This article reports on our investigation of that neglected dimension of greed. Our cross-cultural study (n=395) shows that when the rating of greediness was not very high, the perception of greed went hand in hand with the perception of unfairness, such that there was a positive linear association between the two. The demographics of the participants suggests that the sample is diverse enough to make a broad generalization. The result of this study confirms the conception of greed in Cheung (2019), which claims that the perception of unfairness, i.e., (2) above, is a significant component of perceived greed. Cheung’s account of greed can also explain the data when the rating of greediness is very high, but logically there could be other explanations.

Abstract:

The study aimed to analyze empirically the relationships among job strain, employee greed, and workplace deviance. The data is collected from 645 bank employees and analyzed by using structural equation modeling. The analysis reveals a significant impact of job strain on greed and workplace deviance. Moreover, in the relationship between job strain and workplace deviance, employee greed is a significant mediator. The study bridges the gap in the literature of greed theory by incorporating the mechanism of employee greed in job strain and workplace deviance. In the practical milieu, the study explains greed phenomenon in a novel cultural context, suggesting human resource managers to better understand employee psychology.

Abstract:

The article considers the study of the peculiarities of greed as a factor in family and organizational conflicts, conducted an empirical study and presents the results of an empirical study on the manifestation of greed as a factor in family and organizational conflicts. The links between greed and indicators that reflect family and organizational conflicts have been identified and a conceptual model has been developed that reflects the content of the phenomenon under study. A proven greed reduction training has been developed that has been shown to be effective. Greed as a factor of conflict is manifested from and as resources to solve the problem, and as the destruction of relationships in the team, in families. The basis of dynamic changes in society is conflict. One of the psychological causes of destructive conflict in organizations and families is greed. Greed has an impact on all spheres of human life, because it is an individual property, has specific characteristics of its manifestation, which are not always well related to the social environment and other people in general, greed will inevitably manifest itself in interaction with others, which can lead to various conflicts. The results of the study and the identified trends of greed in family and organizational conflicts confirm the need to update actions aimed at creating theoretical concepts, conceptual model of greed as a factor in conflict in different environments, development of specialized training, developmental training, corrective programs and measures to reduce greed as factor of family and organizational conflicts.

Abstract:

‘Do we not see economists leaving out of account unconscious greed?’ It seems that this question, which Donald W. Winnicott and his colleagues asked some twenty-five years ago, is still relevant today. While economists still broadly emphasise self-interest as a driving force and rarely discuss the impact of greed, socio-analysts are increasingly interested in it. Taking Melanie Klein's earlier work on greed as a starting-point, I offer the notion of ‘capitalist greed’ and attempt to elaborate some of the unconscious dynamics in the realm of economy and finance. I see greed as a psychotic dynamic that inhibits thinking and limits reality to what is bearable and desired. Greed is neither a phenomenon that began with the onset of capitalism nor the decisive cause of the current crisis; it is inherent in the former and became most apparent in the latter. Subsequently, I will elaborate how competition is often fuelled by excessive greed that seeks to damage or even annihilate competitors and is the source of corruption and fraud. The mere pursuit of maximising profit, fostered and legitimised by economics for almost half a century, has had a major impact on the prevalence of greed in our contemporary economy and the financial service industry in particular. In concluding, I will offer some reflections on how thinking may be maintained in a world gone mad with greed.

Abstract:

“Greed” and “excess” carry negative connotations in many of the societies in which we live, even if they are not typical terms framing a great deal of anthropological work today. My approach here is to suggest that “greed” and “excess” may be most productive to thinkers and analysts if we use the terms to lead us to topics to which they seem to be potentially connected—that is, to get us to explore those questions from a reinvigorated or new angle—rather than trying to identify analytically comparable enough phenomena that we could then call cases of “greed” or “excess” and compare them to each other. Hence, here, discursive connections between “greed” and moral failing, the invocation of “greed” as an accusation, and the sense that “greed” refers (somewhat implicitly, implicitly, or more explicitly) to serious inequality, accumulation (material or symbolic), and differentiation or distinction by being a desire for both are explored. This article also worries about certain possible unintended consequences of turning “greed” and “excess” into more typical frames of anthropological discussion.

Abstract:

This research paper examined the role of socialization and financial greed in promoting the immoral decisions of students. Through the findings of existing literature on the topic, the authors analysed the impact of socialization and financial greed on unethical decisions, as well as examined potential strategies for minimizing the incidence of immoral behaviour. The findings showed that socialization and financial greed can influence individuals in terms of making immoral decisions. In particular, individuals with materialistic values or higher levels of financial greed were more likely to make unethical decisions for personal gain. Furthermore, the authors identified potential strategies such as increasing awareness of moral values and implementing programs to reduce financial greed, which may be beneficial in minimizing the occurrence of unethical behaviour. Therefore, understanding the influence of socialization and financial greed on moral decision-making is important in order to create a better and fairer society.

Abstract:

The article aimed to discover whether the element of Taufiq al-Hakim's imagination regarding human greed had relevance to the social reality of society, or is it merely an expression of personal imagination that was not related to the social environment of society? To answer this problem, the researcher used the text analysis method with the main corpus of the short story “Daulah al-‘As}a>fi>r.” The theory used in analyzing this text was socialist realism assisted by a literary ecological approach. The analysis showed that Taufiq al-Hakim's imaginative criticism through his sparrow symbol against human greed had a close relevance to the phenomenon of contemporary human life today, like Covid-19 pandemic. Such pandemic was a natural reaction to human greed who had exploited fellow humans and their environment. It was also reinforced by the fact that all big and powerful countries in the world were overwhelmed to overcome Covid-19. This study recommended that humans should not be greedy, so that the balance of nature can be maintained properly.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article argues that the popular term self-interest which is used in economic and political discourses can be used interchangeably with greed. Tracing the origins of the term greed from antiquity through the early Christian era, it is also argued that classical modern economic and political theorists justified and absolved greed when they replaced it with the word self-interest. It was argued by modern economists and political philosophers that the pursuit of self-interest was integral to human nature, and also indispensable to the attainment and increase of wealth. Contemporary economists have also absolved greed when they constructed an ideal homo economicus as solely a utility maximiser who is only concerned with his or her well-being without taking into account the well-being of others. In an African society where greed is primarily seen as dehumanising, I argue that egalitarian economic programmes that have been implemented by many postcolonial African governments should be seen as an expression of moral protest against greed.

Abstract:

In the eastern part of Jordan’s capital, Amman, where women maintained friendships through the exchange of help and support, accusations of maslaha (opportunism) had the potential to undermine relationships. Those accusations generated ugly feelings characterized by a confusion between the things wrong with oneself that make one vulnerable to the problem of maslaha and the things wrong with Jordanian society that make maslaha so widespread. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted in one East Amman neighbourhood, Tal al-Zahra, between 2011 and 2015, this article explores the ways that encounters with maslaha felt ugly, the way these ugly feelings generated critiques of contemporary Jordanian morals, and the role of these feelings in generating ethical reflection by prompting women to see themselves as separate from, and critical of, the societies in which they live.
