What's Playing in the Organizational Theater? Collusive Relationships in Management
借鉴伴侣治疗概念，识别组织中四种上下级共谋关系模式（自恋型、控制型、偏执型、施虐受虐型），并探讨其后果与预防措施。
This article takes as its point of departure concepts derived from couple therapy to better understand collusive relationships in organizations. As we examine these dysfunctional workplace relationships-these interpersonal "gridlocks"four main types of collusive superior-subordinate interaction patterns are identified-the narcissistic, the controlling, the paranoid, and the sadomasochistic-and the consequences of each such dyad in organizations are explored. In conclusion, the paper presents a number of recommendations on how to recognize the presence of such collusive arrangements (taking leadership behavior as a point of departure) and suggests preventive steps that can be taken.
