The Harvard University of Arts and Sciences has published quite a remarkable paper on the natural phenomenon involving self interest amongst individuals rather than punishments and rewards in achieving a symbiosis in organizational behaviour.
This is quite a 'symbiosis' between Biologists and Economists in what they call 'mutualism'. The Partner Fidelity Feedback holds that symbionts evolved to help heir hosts because a healthy host automatically feeds back benefits to the symbionts.
Soyabean plants direct food and oxygen only to root nodules colonised by nitrogen fixing bacteria and kill of nodules with unhelpful bacteria. However, this is as yet unclear about why this actually occurs. When one looks at organizational behaviour, economic theories would suggest that performance based remunerations and career advancements based on value additions would perhaps be a natural symbiotic phenomenon but weeding out the non performers may not be as natural. But the idea is interesting. The performers and non performers would keep moving to relocating themselves into various economic spheres to suit their skills and self interests. The economic system itself perhaps needs to present a larger symbiotic model...
