concerned about ...

0Hi,02br
02br
00When someone uses the verb 'concern', to me, it always sounds 'the person is worried about something'.02br
02br
00Interesting thing is on my oxford dictionary, 'concern about sth' has a meaning of ' to take an interest'.02br
02br
00e.g.02br
02br
00Some people do bare minimum, and some people actually 01u00conerned about02u00 the organisation 01u00as a whole02u00.02br
02br
00In the second part, does it mean ' some people actuall take an interest on the organisation', by the way, what's the meaning of 'as a whole' here? I do realise it's got the meaning of ' as one thing or a piece, and not as seperate parts' here. 02br
02br
00Thanks in advance.0-

00Concern also means care. The sentence means some people care about, think about the welfare of the entire organisation whereas some try to get away by doing as little as possible.02br
