How can it be fear of loss when there's absolutely no risk of loss?
> Economic stability or the loss of is a primary driver of productivity in our society
Precisely the point I was making.
Generally people don't care about the corporations they work for, so the only motivation to be better is the possibility of better outcomes for them as individuals - or in some cases, to avoid losing what they have (best performers in theory have a better chance to survive a layoff). Note that I'm not making any judgement on whether this is the best way of motivating people - only that it's the one we currently have.
If there's no risk of loss and no recompense to win (i.e. the only possible outcome is to stay exactly where you are regardless of how much or how little effort and accountability you put in the project) doing as little as possible and taking no accountability is just inertia - it's not moved by fear.
