Images of Death and Slavery in Organizational Life
探讨主人与奴隶的意象如何揭示现代组织中权威关系的心理动力,并将其与对不朽的象征追求联系起来,说明非理性因素在组织生活中的持续影响。
Organizational life is bounded by myths and symbols that affect the individual's behavior in mysterious ways. This paper examines the imagery of masters and slaves as a guide to the psychological dynamics of authority relationships in modern organizations. The master-slave relationship is related to the symbolic quest for immortality, and is analyzedfrom a historical and psychological perspective. Finally, its powerful imagery is connected to superior-subordinate relationships in modern organizations in order to demonstrate the continuing influence of the "irrational" in organizational life.
