I don't think any of us know the percentage break down of why people don't kill. There are probably more reasons for why people don't than for why they do.
It's a well known joke that barbarous societies are polite societies because rudeness and passive aggressiveness gets your teeth knocked in.
Then again, overly passive try-to-please-everyone bosses aren't very effective either.
I imagine sociologists and psychologists would sneak into this world just to see all the subtleties in interaction play out.
