    Codependency describes behaviors from dysfunctional families, prioritizing external appearances over individual needs. This contrasts with flexibility, characterized by self-worth and openness to differing viewpoints.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Family Studies
    • Organizational Behavior

    Background:

    • Codependency is often misused, lacking a clear definition.
    • Dysfunctional family dynamics can foster codependent behaviors.
    • Codependent traits can manifest in professional settings, impacting leadership.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To clarify the definition and origins of codependency.
    • To differentiate codependency from healthy flexibility.
    • To explore the impact of codependency in professional roles.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of codependency.
    • Comparative analysis of codependent and flexible behaviors.
    • Case study examples of codependency in management.

    Main Results:

    • Codependency stems from unbalanced priorities in dysfunctional families, focusing on maintaining external normalcy.
    • Codependent managers exhibit low self-worth and a need for external approval.
    • Flexible individuals possess high self-worth, actively listen, and embrace change and compromise.

    Conclusions:

    • Codependency is a maladaptive behavioral pattern originating in childhood.
    • Understanding codependency is crucial for addressing dysfunctional dynamics in families and workplaces.
    • Promoting flexibility fosters healthier interpersonal and professional relationships.
