ORGANIZATIONAL LIFE AS ENCOUNTER WITH THE SELF: INSIGHTS FROM JUNG'S INTERPRETATION OF THE BOOK OF JOB

摘要

This paper explores insights from the psychology of C.G. Jung as it relates to leadership and the management of change in organizational systems. It draws especially upon Jung's archetypal interpretation of the biblical story of Job, and its relevance to modern day study of organizational life. It suggests that the transformations of consciousness represented within the story of Job are highly relevant to the ways that organizations and their leaders face chaotic, turbulent and/or unpredictable circumstances.
