Relational Concerns in Corporate Environments VII
Posted on | February 26, 2012 | No Comments
The group to which an individual belongs is the ground for his or her perceptions, their feelings, and their actions. The social group, starting with our own families, including our childhood-young adult, and mature adult peers, and the community at large, give the individual his or her character and personality. In addition, it may have formed his or her moral and ethical belief system. Field theory (Lewin, 1935) is the differentiation of societal regions marked by observable boundaries and deeper layers within organization systems. By changing the groups, we can see that context creates the person and we become someone else in another community, which causes the cause of our base nature. Creating the bridge between empowerment of the individual and successful work groups is a concern for corporate managers. In an organized environment the usual management authoritarianism will become more democratic as the individual begins to manage: first, their own social skills, and then second, important intergroup relations.
