Area of Science:

  • Organizational Psychology
  • Psychodynamic Theory

Background:

  • Organizations function as cultures and face turbulence and stress.
  • Foundational values are critical for organizational resilience during challenging times.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore organizational and individual behavioral responses to stress using psychodynamic concepts.
  • To examine the risks associated with losing sight of core values and the disconnect between stated values and actual behavior.
  • To propose a framework for reinforcing organizational values and cohesion.

Main Methods:

  • Adaptation of Manfred Kets de Vries's organizational analysis framework.
  • Application of psychodynamic concepts to describe stress-induced behaviors.
  • Analysis of the impact of value-behavior disconnects on individuals and organizations.
