    Summary note
    Any organization's success depends upon the voluntary cooperation of its members. But what motivates people to cooperate? Tom Tyler challenges the decades-old notion that individuals within groups are primarily motivated by their self-interest. Instead, he demonstrates that human behaviors are influenced by shared attitudes, values, and identities that reflect social connections rather than material interests.--[book jacket].
