Books about Organizationally from Amazon.com

With its confining cubicles, incompetent leaders, bureaucratic inertia, and corporate doublespeak, the workplace can sometimes seem cartoonishly sinister--right down to the pointy-haired bosses and malevolent canines!

It's time to snap back into flesh-and-blood reality and tune in to ESCAPE FROM CLUELESSNESS. This refreshing book offers an antidote to the creeping cynicism and feelings of helplessness that ensnare millions of employees--each struggling to make sense of the strange and puzzling world of work.

There are no sugarcoated management mantras here. Instead, the book uses a punchy text and biting wit to survey the same grim territory so brilliantly satirized by "Dilbert." But, unlike the cartoon, ESCAPE FROM CLUELESSNESS takes the strong, positive stand that something CAN be done to improve things.

And the book supplies a detailed road map for making it happen, leading readers on a journey away from cluelessness and toward a better, more rewarding work life. Along the way, they'll: * Plunge into the murky underworld of office politics--and learn how to play the game (without getting eaten) * Enter the hothouse of interpersonal relationships--and learn to understand themselves and the people around them * Tour the feudal landscape of corporate monarchs, lords, and serfs--and learn to work around the bureaucratic barriers that hierarchy creates * Crack the hidden cultural codes, create pizzazz in a sterile workplace, navigate the endless--and endlessly bumbled--change efforts, and much more..

Description:
This study examined whether the content of organizationally-shared cognitive prototypes of effective leadership varies in predictable fashion according to the degree to which organizations are mechanistic or organic. Data for this study come from the GLOBE Project [House, R. J., Hanges, P. J., Javidan, M., Dorfman, P. W., & Gupta V. (Eds.) (2004). Culture, leadership, and organizanizations: The GLOBE study of 62 societies. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage]. First, we identified several different styles of leadership, and tested whether there is within-organization consensus in the perceived effectiveness of these different styles of leadership (i.e., whether cognitive prototypes of effective leadership are shared within organizations). We then investigated whether the organizationally-shared perception of effective leadership was related to the degree to which organizational cultures were characterized as having mechanistic or organic policies and practices or shared values. Results indicated that the organizationally-shared prototypes of effective leadership varied, in some cases, based on the degree to which organizations reflected mechanistic or organic organizational forms. Implications regarding the linkages between organizational factors and prototypes of effective leadership are discussed. .
