The Gods and Goddesses: Personifying Social Life in the Age of Organization
用希腊神话中的众神比喻组织时代社会生活中的原型力量,指出当前组织生活缺乏某些被忽视的神祇所代表的能量,并简要回顾这些被遗忘的神祇。
All social life is underpinned by the activation of archetypal processes. These processes are understood here as representing the gods and goddesses, as they have been conceived by mankind since antiquity. This is not a religious but a psychological account of those energies which emerge from the collective unconscious and dictate the form of the world as we understand it. The pantheon of gods and goddesses as found in Greek myth is used to describe the represen tation of 'divinities' as they are 'worshipped' in the age of organization. Those gods and goddesses who seldom appear on the corporate Mt. Olympus, but who are sorely needed to address a staleness in the experience of organizational life, are briefly reviewed.
