Organizational Crisis and Individual Response: New Trends for Human Service Professionals

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
September 1984

Abstract

Organizations in crisis cope with and adapt to their environments by unwittingly exhibiting certain typical responses. These responses adversely affect organizational members and create secondary crises. Human service professionals working in and with organizations during “hard times” need new skills and methodologies that include no-growth situations and high anxiety states. We need to be developing new types of training programs to meet the challenges of working with present day organizational realities.

Résumé

Les organisations en crise se mesurent et s'adaptent à leurs environments en faisant montre involontairement de certaines réponses typiques. Ces réponses affectent négativement les membres de l'organisation et engendrent des crises secondaires. Les professionnels des ressources humaines qui travaillent à l'intérieur et avec des organisations pendant les moments difficiles ont besoin de nouvelles habiletés et méthodologies pour tenir compte de situations à croissance nulle et d'états de forte anxiété. Nous avons besoin de développer de nouveaux types de programmes de formation pour rencontrer les défis amenés par le travail avec des réalités organisationnelles actuelles.
