How a government defines its public interests impacts organizations and the development of human resources by curtailing group dissent through maximizing the mix of self-interests or providing vehicles to enhance a collective view of corporate social responsibility. Lobbying also impacts organizations and human resource development. The way lobbying is achieved either helps decision-makers reach rational and meaningful conclusions that positively impact human development or merely serves as a procedure to buy political favors. This is accomplished through special interest groups who may or may not have human or environmental development or sustainability in their best interest. For example, the tobacco lobby in the United States seldom views the health of citizens as its primary mission.
