Complacency. Plaguing Business Productivity

Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Psychology - Work, Business, Organisational and Economic Psychology, grade: 95, University of Houston, course: English Rhetoric, language: English, abstract: Complacency is an issue that has been plaguing human progression more and more in recent history than ever before. It is now all too often to find someone with a boring, repetitive job, or a low end, non-respected job, who is content with doing what they do for the rest of their lives because they are too lazy to improve themselves or their position in society. Becoming complacent can happen to anyone, all it takes is losing sight of long term goals and ceasing to embody the spirit of youth. When we are young, we are filled with ambition and an urge to achieve anything that we put our minds to. But as we grow up, some people lose that fire inside inspiring them to seek out and attain their goals. Endeavoring to retain the spirit of youth is the most effective way of avoiding becoming complacent, but how likely you are to become complacent can also greatly depend on who you are, and how you are motivated.
