English term
self-orientation
English to Spanish
Social Sciences
Economics
Political economy
This comes from a text on the experience of Yugslavian worker control. The term giving me problems is Self-orientation
"Finally, when differential possession or differential development of capacities (neither of which imply antagonism in themselves) are combined with self-interest and self-orientation to produce the belief in and the desire for privileged entitlement".
I wonder if orientación hacia si mismo would work??
I am not sure how to translate self-orientation, cannot find it in any dictionary, included Proz. Thank you for any help given

auto orientación/orientación personal
As "self interest", "self-orientation" can be translated as: "interés personal - orientación personal", or, "auto-interés - auto-orientación."

orientación de sí mismo
Creo que tu opción es la mejor.

la propia orientación
the term "auto-orientación" is also correct, but I would choose this one, especially in this case were before one can read "self-interest", which can not be translated as "auto-interés", rather as "el propio interés", so both sentences go in the same way.

individualismo
In my opinion the query term has a negative connotation (like “self-interest”, “egoísmo”). I would suggest as a posible translation “individualismo” as opposed to “team or task orientation” (= espírituo de equipo). I think the word “orientación” doesn´t suffice here to stress properly that negative connotation.

self-orientation
A psychological orientation in which an individual wishes to have direct personal rewards regardless of the effects on others working with that individual. A self-orientated person is often dominating, introspective, and socially insensitive. Highly successful athletes tend to be self-orientated while good coaches tend to be lower in self-orientation. Compare task orientation.

The values of specific interest in this research were individualism (a self-orientation with focus on the individual) and collectivism (a self-orientation with focus on relationships with others). Individuals tend to have a prevalence of one orientation over another, even while having tendencies towards both.
