Abstract

The factors that compel individuals to exert the extraordinary effort needed to create high reliability-consistent error-free performance under trying conditions-remain unspecified. Here, we propose that when individuals experience emotional ambivalence and prosocial motivation, it induces the broad thinking and other-orientation that undergird mindful organizing and high reliability.
