I suggest you study transpersonal psychology so you have some terms and definitions for the variables you're working with. Subjective reasoning is not science or fact.

Hey Abi!! Great text!! Thanks for translating science into simple words for us.

Could you share references of the studies regarding developers prioritizing individual work over team work?

Here are the sources the paper cites on that point:

1. A Tale of Two Cities: Software Developers Working from Home during the COVID-19 Pandemic https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3487567

2. Microsoft New Future of Work Report 2022 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/microsoft-new-future-of-work-report-2022/

I haven't read through these yet will save them to read soon. Hopefully this helps!

Full text where those are cited:

"With the emerging global trend of work occurring in hybrid environments especially with the COVID-19 pandemic, and developers prioritizing individual work over team collaboration [those papers are cited here], this tension between individual task work and productivity versus helping the team, which is often considered to impede the individual productivity, has only increased."
