From toxic to brave organizations: Transforming power cultures into relational cultures
本文指出组织文化中根深蒂固的压迫是阻碍卓越与归属感的根本障碍,提出用勇敢关系文化替代有毒权力文化,并倡导通过关系文化理论和积极组织学实现组织转型。
The fundamental barrier to achieving excellence in well-being and belonging within organizations is the inherent oppression embedded in organizational cultures that perpetuate the toxic aspects of masculinity. I utilize a three-layer, three-process model of Organizational Culture to characterize these environments as Toxic Power Cultures and suggest Brave Relational Cultures as a viable alternative. I advocate for a transformative feminist approach through relational cultural theory and positive organizational scholarship (e.g., positive social capital, high-quality connections, and Appreciative Inquiry). This practical and comprehensive strategy for organizational transformation addresses the root causes of toxic phenomena and fosters environments that promote sustainable organizational success, engagement, well-being, and belonging for all members of the organization.
