Achievement

Conclusion

This has been a very brief foray into the glocality of achievement, and how to negotiate that glocality more intelligently and sensitively than many of us do at present. The cursory nature of our foray is not an issue for concern at this stage. The main point of the chapter is simply to provide a conceptual platform, and vista, for the remainder of the book. In the chapters about to follow, and through the lens of glocality, we will be looking more closely at motivational gravity, and how to manage it, across a range of settings and contexts. That discussion begins with the context of “pay diversity,” and how this particular bastion of globalization sometimes leads to envy and jealousy, between both individuals and groups.

An important issue in social regulation in almost every society is the conflict between encouraging individual initiatives and promoting pro-social behavior ... how to maintain a balance between encouraging personal striving and constraining the manner through which personal striving is expressed has been a long-standing problem in almost every social philosophical system.
