Omschrijving
This book differentiates both the objective structural elements and the subjective emotional elements in organizations and shows how psychological processes cast their influence throughout. It demonstrates the development of work, workplaces, organization, and organizations in the context of psychology and social psychology.
Sigmund Freud once said, “were we fully to understand the reasons for other people's behavior, it would all make sense.” People interested in the psychodynamics of organizational life, who are prepared to go beyond the more well-trodden paths, would be wise to read this book. By doing so, the reader will acquire deep insights into the psychic life of organizations.
This is an impressive book and a fascinating read. Bernd Huppertz has gathered together an excellent group of contributors with a wealth of knowledge and experience. They shed new light on the unconscious and systemic aspects of organization and leadership and do so in a way that is highly engaging. I can thoroughly recommend this volume.
Illuminated and thoughtfully explored in this book are the deep, often irrational and sometimes seemingly mad currents that run through and between organizations and broader society; currents that we each know in our gut and our emotional life. From illumination possibilities of how to creatively lead, manage, and influence in the face of such complexity are brought forth. The history of work is provided, so necessary to comprehend the present, and then, with precision and care, dimensions of organizational life are explored using the depth of ideas from systems thinking and psychodynamics and their interface. So not only are we given concepts and methods for framing and influencing the complexities of working in organizations, but we also have the joining together in one place of the central concepts that form the systems psychodynamic discipline. This book is invaluable for those entering this field of work and for all who wish to lead and manage with deep insight into the complex reality of organizational life.
