"Hungry." It's the word that's been all over Singapore's feeds in recent days. A recruiter said companies are replacing local workers with regional hires. Not because they're more skilled, but because they're hungrier. The reaction was immediate, loud, and personal.
But what does hungry actually mean — and are we even asking the right question?
On Viewpoint, Lynlee Foo sits down with Dr Paul Lim, Director of Undergraduate Admissions and Senior Lecturer of Organisational Behaviour and Human Resources at SMU's Lee Kong Chian School of Business, to unpack what's really going on. Is hunger a character trait or something the system builds in you, or takes away? What does organisational behaviour research actually say about workplace motivation? And if companies keep choosing cheaper overseas hires, is that a worker problem or a management failure dressed up as one?
