Organizational Cultures as Holding Environments: A Psychodynamic Look at Organizational Symbolism
借鉴温尼科特等人的“容纳环境”概念,从心理动力学视角分析组织文化中符号的深层心理元素,通过案例说明该视角对理解文化形成、发展与消亡的贡献。
The traditional formulation of symbols as "bundles of meaning" has supported many fine-grained analyses of organizational culture. However, it tends to obscure deeper psychodynamic elements that are essential to shaping how culture forms, develops, and dies. This paper adapts the idea of "holding environment" from Winnicott, Kegan, and others to sketch the potential contribution of such a psychodynamic perspective. An illustrative case is presented to support the argument.
