Psychodynamic Organisational Theory

On the surface, people go to work and come home again. They sometimes manage people while most are managed themselves. But beneath the function and structures of the work itself, a whole range of emotions affects the success of the relationship between employee and manager and ultimately the organisation they both belong to. Psychodynamic Organisational Theory: Key Concepts and Cases provides a comprehensive but accessible introduction to this fascinating field of study. Featuring case vignettes which bring the various concepts to life, the book is divided into four parts. Part I looks at how the individual relates to the organisation and the unconscious energies they bring, while Part II examines group dynamics and how they affect productivity, including a chapter on meetings. Part III explores the realm of leadership and what roles a manager can play in managing their staff, while Part IV introduces the idea of personality and describes how the manager’s personality influences management dynamics as well as the wider organisational culture. Central to the book, as well as the idea that organisational phenomena are often unconscious, is the understanding that relationships are always reciprocal. Through complex psychological dynamics manager and employee influence and change each other during the process of managing and being managed. This text will be essential reading for students and scholars of leadership, HRM, and organizational psychology, as well as consultants and managers looking for practical insights into how human relationships affect the success of every organisation.

Anerkendelse

Anerkendelse på arbejdspladsen har haft sin tid. Det er det indtryk, man får, når man læser om medarbejdere, der er blevet anerkendelsesjunkier. Hvor der tidligere var for lidt, er der åbenbart for meget nu. Men det nytter ikke noget at give efter for denne tendens, for vi kommer ikke uden om anerkendelse, når ønsket er trivsel, selvværd, læring og udvikling. Anerkendelse – Kom ind i kampen! giver fornyet luft til anerkendelse som begreb anvendt i professionelle sammenhænge. Gennem tre meget forskellige afsnit – en fortælling, et metodekapitel og nogle erfaringer – giver bogen adgang til en forståelse af anerkendelse som begreb og værktøj. Anvendt rigtigt er anerkendelse forudsætningen for udviklingen af unikke arbejds- og læringsmiljøer. Se en lille film om forfatteren og bogen. Læs mere om forfatteren, Thorkild Olsen.
