ABSTRAKSkripsi ini membahas mengenai konsep komitmen sebagai kritik terhadap konsep
simpati dalam melihat motif ekonomi. Teori ekonomi menempatkan self-interest
sebagai satu-satunya motif atas tindakan yang dilakukan. Konsep simpati
kemudian mengembangkan asumsi ini dengan memasukkan kesejahteraan orang
lain sebagai motif. Namun, simpati masih jatuh pada asumsi egoism karena
kesejahteraan orang lain hanya implikasi dari tindakan yang dilakukan demi
pemaksimalam self-interest. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan
desain argumentatif terhadap keterbatasan konsep yang dipakai untuk
menganalisa motif ekonomi. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa konsep
komitmen lebih relevan dari pada konsep simpati untuk menjelaskan bahwa ada
tindakan yang dilakukan terlepas dari pemaksimalan self-interest.
ABSTRACTThe focus of this study is examines the concept of commitment as a critic of the
concept of sympathy as an economic motive. Economic theory places self-interest
as the only motive in any economic action. The concept of sympathy develops this
assumption by adding the motive to care for other persons welfare. However,
because the motive to care for other peoples welfare is actually only an
implication of actions taken to maximize the gains dictated by self-interest,
concept of sympathy still falls under the assumption of egoism. This research, in
which is of a qualitative manner, argues against the limitations of the concept used
in the analysis of economic motives. It concludes that the concept of commitment
is more relevant than the concept of sympathy in explaining the actions of which
are done outside the motivations of self-interest;The focus of this study is examines the concept of commitment as a critic of the
