“…Metaphorically and psychologically, money is a functionless, yet powerful, addictive, and insatiable drug to some people. Just like drug addicts who require larger dosages to maintain the same level of ''high'' (Mason 1992), most people want more money in order to achieve the same original level of utility.…”

Love of Money and Unethical Behavior Intention: Does an Authentic Supervisor’s Personal Integrity and Character (ASPIRE) Make a Difference?

We investigate the extent to which perceptions of the authenticity of supervisor's personal integrity and character (ASPIRE) moderate the relationship between people's love of money (LOM) and propensity to engage in unethical behavior (PUB) among 266 part-time employees who were also business students in a five-wave panel study. We found that a high level of ASPIRE perceptions was related to high love-of-money orientation, high selfesteem, but low unethical behavior intention (PUB). Unethical behavior intention (PUB) was significantly correlated with their high Machiavellianism, low self-esteem, and low intrinsic religiosity. Our counterintuitive results revealed that the main effect of LOM on PUB was not significant, but the main effect of ASPIRE on PUB was significant. Further, the significant interaction effect between LOM and ASPIRE on unethical behavior intention provided profoundly interesting findings: High LOM was related to high unethical behavior intention for people with low ASPIRE, but was related to low unethical intention for those with high ASPIRE. People with high LOM and low ASPIRE had the highest unethical behavior intention; whereas those with high LOM and high ASPIRE had the lowest. We discuss results in light of individual differences, ethical environment, and perceived demand characteristics.

“…People want money because it serves as a tool to obtain biological rewards that satisfy their needs (Lea and Webley 2006) and also are interested in what money can buy. However, the utility of money is metaphorically like that of a drug: Drug addicts require larger dosages to maintain the same level of "high" (Mason 1992). Following the notion that the rising tide lifts all boats, people raise the standard, want more money, consume more, and acquire bigger and better products or services in order to maintain the same level of utility of money.…”

“…It may generate a short-term and temporary relief, and help fight depression or boredom (Mason 1992).

“…From the perspective of motivation theories, globalization, outsourcing, mergers and acquisitions, downsizing, and technological and economic changes have displaced numerous employees around the world, caused instability, fear, stress, and impermanence (Pfeffer 2010), and threatened people's basic survival or existence needs (Maslow 1954;Alderfer 1969;Doyle 1992;Mason 1992;Poduska 1992;Tang and West 1997;Tang, Ibrahim and West 2002). People have the need to belong (Baumeister and Leary 1995), be recognized for their achievement (Herzberg 1987), and make meaningful contributions, develop competence and mastery, find meaning in life, and satisfy self-actualization or growth needs.…”

Money, the meaning of money, management, spirituality, and religion

This article briefly summarizes selected theory and research related to money and the meaning of money. Research shows that money is considered as a tool and as a drug. People are subject to all kinds of temptation in the environment that trigger them to act ethically or unethically. Thinking about money enhances one’s feeling of “self‐sufficiency,” but reduces one’s willingness to help others. The mere presence of abundant money incites the feeling of “envy” toward wealthy others that provokes unethical behavior. Having control over money and spending money on others promote happiness. High love‐of‐money individuals have low pay satisfaction, low quality of life, low ethical intentions, and low intention to help others and become Good Samaritans. Since money is the direct opposite of spirituality and one cannot serve both God and money, spirituality and religion help people live fulfilling, meaningful, and purposeful lives. There is hope that our understanding of spirituality and religion through the lens of money may help researchers and practitioners move to further research and improved practice.

“…The origin of noncumulate eucrites is more obscure. They may have originally formed in one of two ways, either as ( I ) partial (primary) melts of the HED parent body that experienced comparatively little modification by fractional crystallization processes (Stolper, 1977;Consolmagno and Drake, 1977;Jones, 1984, Jurewicz et al, 1993, or (2) melts produced from the same or similar magmas that had earlier crystallized diogenites (Mason, 1967;Warren, 1985;Ikeda and Takeda, 1985;Warren and Jerde, 1987;Hewins and Newsom, 1988;Grove and Bartels, 1992). The large and apparently continuous variations in mineral compositions and mineral assemblages in howardites and polymict eucrites (e.g., Duke and Silver, 1967;Delaney et al, 1984;Takeda and Mori, 1985;Ikeda and Takeda, 1985) provide compelling evidence for the importance of fractionating magmas in the HED parent body.…”

Abstract-If Vesta is the parent body of the howardite, eucrite, and diogenite (HED) meteorites, then geochemical and petrologic constraints for the meteorites may be used in conjunction with astronomical constraints for the size and mass of Vesta to (1) determine the size of a possible metal core in Vesta and (2) model the igneous differentiation and internal structure of Vesta.The density of Vesta and petrologic models for HED meteorites together suggest that the amount of metal in the parent body is <25 mass%, with a best estimate of -5%, assuming no porosity. For a porosity of up to 5% in the silicate fraction of the asteroid, the permissible metal content is <30%. These results suggest that any metal core in the HED parent body and Vesta is not unusually large.A variety of geochemical and other data for HED meteorites are consistent with the idea that they originated in a magma ocean. It appears that diogenites formed by crystal accumulation in a magma ocean cumulate pile and that most noncumulate eucrites (excepting such eucrites as Bouvante and Stannem) formed by subsequent crystallization of the residual melts. Modelling results suggest that the HED parent body is enriched in rare earth elements by a factor of -2.5-3.5 relative to CI-chondrites and that it has approximately chondritic Mg/Si and AVSc ratios. Stokes settling calculations for a Vesta-wide, nonturbulent magma ocean suggest that early-crystallizing magnesian olivine, orthopyroxene, and pigeonite would have settled relatively quickly, permitting fractional crystallization to occur, but that later-crystallizing phases would have settled (or floated) an order of magnitude more slowly, allowing, instead, a closer approach to equilibrium crystallization for the more evolved (eucritic) melts. This would have inhibited the formation of a plagioclase-flotation crust on Vesta.Plausible models for the interior of Vesta, which are consistent with the data for HED meteorites and Vesta, include a metal core ( 4 3 0 km radius), an olivine-rich mantle (-65-220 km thick), a lower crustal unit (-1243 km thick) composed of pyroxenite, from which diogenites were derived, and an upper crustal unit (-23-42 km thick), from which eucrites originated. The present shape of Vesta (with -60 km difference in the maximum and minimum radius) suggests that all of the crustal materials, and possibly some of the underlying olivine from the mantle, could have been locally excavated or exposed by impact cratering.
