Status anxiety

Adrian Furnham

A chapter in Head & Heart Management, 2008, pp 181-182 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract We strive both in life and at work with two conflicting drives: to get along with others but also to get ahead of them. We do a lot of social comparison. Indeed, many things such as pay satisfaction are entirely dependent upon it.
