Are You A Big Pig In The Workplace? Or A Piglet?
boxed pigs
It is the most classic example of game theory (Gametheory).
Anyone who has studied the game theory knows this story.
But considering that many readers have not studied game theory, it is necessary to make a commonplace.
The example is: there are two pigs in the pigsty, one big pig and one little pig.
There is a pedal on the side of the pigsty. Every time you step on the pedal, you drop a small amount of food on the other side of the pigsty on the other side of the pigsty.
If a pig steps on the pedals, another pig will have the chance to eat the food on the other side.
When a piglet is pedaling the pedals, the big pig will eat all the food before the pig runs to the trough. If the pig steps on the pedal, there is still a chance to run to the trough before the pig eats the leftovers.
Now ask: "what strategies will each pig take?"
The answer is: piglets will be comfortably waiting on the side of the trough, while the big pig will be tired of running between the pedals and the trough.
Why does this happen?
Because, for piglets, it does not step on the pedal than the treadle is a first-class strategy, it can not step on anything, no trample will appear two possibilities: if a large pig trampled, it can sit back and enjoy it; if the big pig does not step on, two people (here say that two pigs more accurate) will be consumed, and eventually all starved to death, the same as it does, but it will not quickly consume energy.
Therefore, the pig is determined to carry the revolution through to the end - firmly against pedals.
Of course, it is also a good strategy for big pigs to step on their pedals without stepping on them.
But the analysis before us already knew that the pig's will was so determined that he would not care about the big pig.
Then is the big pig simply closed? Let's wait for the west wind.
Of course not. There are two reasons: first, the big pig needs more energy to replenish his strength; he can not afford it; secondly, the big pig is not stupid. He also has a clear idea of the pig. So he will adjust his strategy and not make two monks without water.
After all, to step on the pedal, there will still be some harvest, though it is cold, but better than nothing.
The best strategy for a pig at this time is to do it yourself.
The model of intelligent pig game can be extended to every aspect of life, whether in war or in war.
Commercial competition
We will see the existence of * like pig game.
In the interpersonal conflict of the office, some people will become "pigs" for nothing, while others will act as a thankless "big pig".
Case one: big pig "overtime" piglets "get overtime pay"
This happens everywhere in enterprises.
Because we lack everything, that is, there is no shortage of people, so every time no matter how big the matter is, the more people who work overtime, the better.
There are always two or more people who can do anything that one person can do.
The phenomenon of "three monks" appeared at this time.
If everyone is there, no one will move. The result is that they can't finish their work, and they will be criticized by the boss.
These comrades who have worked together for many years know the rules of the other party well.
"Big pig" knows that "piglet" has been living a hard won life, and "little pig" also knows that "big pig" always hinder the face or the sense of responsibility, and will not sit and wait for it.
As a result, there are always some "big pigs" who are too upset to take the initiative to complete the task.
And "piglets" are on the loose, anyway, after the completion of the task, the same bonus.
Countermeasures: the key to solve this problem is to set up posts for the sake of matters. For the sake of employing people, 100% of the work must be arranged by 80% people, because people have potential.
{page_break} Case two: everything is better than pass.
Are you always proud of your profound knowledge?
Or are you often depressed by the fact that some people have only one skill but get a higher salary than you do?
Do not blame yourself, nor blame others. Such examples in life are everywhere.
It's not who's wrong, because even if you think something is impossible, it has its scientific nature.
There is an example of why.
A university openly recruits two professors, one is teaching economics, the other is accounting.
After a series of selection, two people eventually got the chance to be called Professor Zhang and Professor Wang.
The next step is a process of making people unable to get through, but the reality is no longer realistic.
The salary of an accounting professor is 5000 yuan / month, while the salary of an economics professor is 3500 yuan / month.
Professor Zhang and Wang two have the same educational background -- Master of accounting.
At the same time, both have teaching experience in economics, and Professor Zhang's experience in accounting teaching is better than Professor Wang.
In your mind, knowledge is money, the more knowledge, the higher the salary. Professor Zhang will naturally get the position of Professor of accounting.
This is the innocence of our smart people, who do not know that this is not the case.
Because Professor Wang knows the market and knows that there are no new competitors.
Therefore, when negotiating with the dean of the academic affairs, he strongly denied that he had the teaching experience of economics, and even said that if he was taught to learn the wrong way, he would rather not do this job.
In order to prove his ability and his lack of research on game theory, Professor Zhang began to talk about it in the first place, and even talked about his teaching experience in economics.
As a matter of fact, I think everyone can see that the school can not be re recruited, and neither of the two professors can easily throw away their beauty.
The final result is Professor Wang's position as a professor of accounting, and Professor Zhang has to go back to teaching economics.
This is not a fictitious story, but a living reality.
Strategy: this example does not negate the value of knowledge, it only reminds you that when you show your knowledge to the outside world, it will probably yield the greatest benefit if you hide it.
Situation three: people who work for collective interests are always less than " Thumb a lift Behind the scenes
Those who act for the sake of collective interests are prominently expressed in seeking to raise wages or increase benefits.
Whether state-owned or private, private enterprises or foreign enterprises, there will always be a variety of small groups within the enterprise, using the professional terminology of organizational behavior is the existence of a variety of informal organizations.
Each group represents the interests of some people, so inevitably there will be conflicts.
At this time, each group will choose their spokesmen.
But then we will find that those who are chosen as spokesmen are always those who are helpless but always give positive images to others.
And the biggest beneficiaries of group activities - piglets are always behind the scenes.
If they fail, they can also make a speech that has nothing to do with me, I am a victim and so on, and let big pigs become the eternal victims.
Countermeasures: the key to solving this phenomenon is to strengthen the pparency of decision-making and the ability to participate in democracy, so that every employee has the right way to express his views.
At the same time, we should cultivate staff's team consciousness and minimize the influence of informal organizations on the organization.
These are just some of the most common game examples in the workplace.
Take a look. * * think about whether we often play the role of "big pig" or "little pig" in our life.
