on the deed, not the rewards, eliminates reward oriented and
competitive motivations, lending a less anxious and more

More and more companies are instituting policies that dictate the
private behavior of employees. Requiring a worker or a
job applicant to submit to drug testing ferments an atmoshpere of
distrust. It focuses on private behavior not the quality of work.
