Overview
Allcorn (Assistant Dean and Chief Financial Officer, Texas Tech U. Health Sciences Center School of Medicine) examines aspects of the literature on organizational dynamics, leadership, groups at work, organizational structure, and related topics from a psychoanalytic perspective with the goal of suggesting a way of understanding organizational life and work experience that will allow for a more informed and proactive approach to management. Individual chapters examine organizational resistance to change, organizational fragmentation, the role of goals in the workplace, the nature of incentives, "leadership pathology," forms of violence in the workplace, the role of the human psyche in the workplace, organizational membership selection, psychological experience of glass ceilings and other organizational surface phenomenon, the presence and nature of mysticism in the workplace, and the narrative of workplace histories.
