Relational Concerns in Corporate Environments VI

Relational Concerns in Corporate Environments VI Individual human aspects include an innate intelligence, the ability of the subject to be immersed in the context, and the desire and commitment for further knowledge. Groups are a replication of an environment in which The Real Issues are played at, to further a potential sense of confidence or fulfillment. Working groups even limited in their scope, cover many aspects of human relationships with a focus on fulfillment, avoidance of fears, and prior wounding. Shawn M. Nichols

Relational Concerns in Corporate Environments V Industry will always outpace humanity, said Douglas McGregor (Heil, Bennis, & Stephens, 2000). True words in an industrialized age and even more so in a computerized, Internet era. Initial ideas for and assumptions one hundred years ago did not often focus on the individuals’ motivation or their sense of dignity. Workers are a group of people clutching at the last vestiges of humanity in an inhuman world.

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.

Relational Concerns in Corporate Environments III The importance of social functioning in working groups, improving or negatively affecting output, has been discussed and researched for the last 100 hundred years. This important and often overlooked point illustrated by the 1928 Hawthorne Experiments Roethlisberger (2005/1941) showed that Individuals create social societies wherever they go. These societies are not as effective as one would assume given the homogenized appearance of those in attendance. Shawn M. Nichols « go back — keep looking »
