Energizer-Group as a Training Procedure for Intervention in Organizational Culture : report of XI Europian congress of Work and Organisation Psychology

摘要

Intervention in Organizational Culture (OC) is a bringing about content and procedural changes into personnel conversations into the inner organizational environment. It is the way to overcome the latent conflict - the fight for power between units and among managers in organization - effect of the power-balance. The organization with external-control orientation of OC (Muijen J., others) was the sample for analysis. Intervention in OC is achieved by multi-modulus program based on the method of the training-practical events (TPE) in organization First stage is the reflective-innovative TPE for creation of conception of the change. Dynamics of the participants' identification with their groups appearing in the procedures of inter-group interactions is the subject. We studied two structures of inter-group communication with different treks of individual moving in the training environment. Tradition is T-M structure: each participant of the thematic (T) group presents outcomes of his/here group in the mix-group (M) with presenters from other T-groups. This structure gives the arising of participants' T-group identification. Experiment is E-T structure: "Energizer-group" are formed from the initiative persons and leaders, E-group moves from one to another T-groups to integrate their creative results. Identification to T-group are less. Possibility to make conversation with referent E-group participants gives two results: 1) growth of E-group as a leader to be bearer of the innovations after TPE; 2) to make clear leader's position in transition to changes for all participants.
