Abstract
The crab mentality is expressed as a kind of selfish and narrow-minded way of thinking. The study aimed to determine whether crab mentality affects dissatisfaction, absenteeism, and motivation. The study was carried out with emergency service personnel of a public hospital in Samsun, Turkey between 21.01.2019 and 16.03.2019. It is the essence of the method that individuals tell their experiences about a phenomenon or concept. This method was preferred since an experienced event was investigated. Data were collected through detailed interviews with people who had experienced the relevant phenomenon. According to participants, egocentrism, jealousy, and inequity were determined to be the antecedents of this behavior. The existence of thought in organizations can affect a peaceful working environment, teamwork, and productivity. It can also significantly increase the stress of the employees at work.

Abstract
The crab mentality is
expressed as a kind of selfish and narrow-minded way of thinking. It is the
essence of the method that individuals tell their experiences about a
phenomenon or concept. This method was preferred since an experienced event was
investigated. Data were collected through detailed interviews
with people who had experienced the relevant phenomenon. According to participants, egocentrism,
jealousy, and inequity were determined to be the antecedents of this behavior.
The existence of thought in organizations can affect the peaceful working
environment, teamwork and productivity. It can also significantly increase the
stress of the employees at work.
