The chronic conflicts that exist within organizations include: communication issues; the lack of self-efficacy for some of the groups as well as the individuals; and the top-down hierarchical demands within the sphere of influence. Maslow (2005/1943) chimed in that the problems mounted as an unresolved fear of hunger and want pervaded the environment and people felt exploited by business managers.

Relational Concerns in Corporate Environments IV

Human motivation and public behavior are not synonymous. Individuals’ behavior is a reflection of their biological, cultural, and current contextual environment. Individuals cannot be counted on to perform as expected even when the working environment or lived context is identical. Organizational development and humanistic psychology have learned much from each other from the start of the industrial age.
The Industrial Revolution with the increase of machinery for production, coupled with dehumanization of the individual in a bottom line focused organization, may have helped create the conditions where management and government sought the assistance of psychologists to improve undesirable conditions, employee unhappiness, and unsatisfactory results.
