<P> Attempts to improve the ethical behaviour of groups are often counter-productive . If legislation is used for such an attempt, people observe the letter of the law rather than improve the desired behaviour . During negotiation, groups that are encouraged to understand the point of view of the other parties are worse at this than those whose perspective is not enlightened . The threat of punishment may make behavior less rather than more ethical . Studies of business ethics indicate that most wrongdoing is not due directly to wickedness but is performed by people who did not plan to err . </P> <P> Stephen Garrard Post, writing about altruism, suggests that good intentions are often not what they seem and that mankind normally acts from less worthy, selfish motives--"If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, it is partly because that is the road they generally start out on ." </P> <P> Authors who have used the phrase include Charlotte Brontë, Lord Byron, Samuel Johnson, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Sir Walter Scott, Søren Kierkegaard, and Karl Marx . Ozzy Osbourne used the term in the song "Tonight" on his album Diary of a Madman . </P> <P> In the movie Highway to Hell, the phrase is taken literally to create one particular scene . The Good Intentions Paving Company has a team of Andy Warhols who grind good - intentioned souls into pavement . "I was only sleeping with my husband's boss to advance his career", says one . The figurative meaning of the phrase is a big part of the plot too, as several characters offer help to the two protagonists on the Road to Hell, but all of them have ulterior motives . </P>
