Learn: A closer look at Fairness

Fairness is one of the biggest causes of both conflict between people and demotivation in the workplace.


Unfairness provokes a strong visceral response, akin to disgust.

How it Works

Watch this video of a capuchin monkey’s response to perceived unfairness – notice how powerful threat reactions can be.

 Have you ever tried to right wrongs after being treated unfairly? 


Often, someone who perceives unfairness will want to make things ‘right’ and will get some dopamine when taking revenge – even small little actions – against the person who they believe created this unfairness.


The monkey is pretty overt about it! But revenge could also look like not giving one's best on a piece of work or not replying to a message from someone who has been a bit irritating.
