IN A NUTSHELL

Rewards don’t work. People are more motivated by internal factors than by external drivers. Once basic financial needs are met, people are more motivated by having a desire for Mastery and a sense of Autonomy/selfdirection towards a driving Purpose (MAP).

External motivating forces (esp. money) tends to kill intrinsic motivation, leading to reduced levels of motivation.

My assessment of the changes in Greek social life and organization have led me to recognize that common assumptions regarding the state of ‘modernity’ are not applicable to the Greek reality. The result is a mismatch between Greece and some of its European partners regarding appropriate conduct in many dimensions of life, highlighted by an acute phase in the current economic crisis (May 2011) . What is revealed is incomprehension in many areas, and an overall lack of cultural knowledge or sensitivity on all sides.The aim of this chapter, the essential brief of the anthropological perspective, is to ‘make sense of’ some cultural misunderstandings. In doing so, I will bring together several threads that help us understand and interpret the current situation in which Greece views its European partners, and is viewed by them.
