Analiza Tranzactionala si Organizatia

The principal contribution that Transactional analysis (TA) can bring for professionals is to knit together under one comprehensive system a theoretical and practical framework that can help psychologists, counsellors, educators, consultants and managers to coordinate and extend their knowledge in an information-based, systematic, and soft manner.
TA can serve as a sophisticated, elegant, and effective system on which the practical activities of professionals in psychotherapy, counselling, education, and organizational management can be built. TA can be divided into five theoretical and practical conceptual clusters, among which: the Strokes Cluster (being related to terms like: "attachment," "intimacy," "warmth," "tender loving care," "need to belong," "contact," "closeness," "relationships," "social support," and "love"); the OK Cluster (correlated with "positive psychology," "human potential," "excellence," "optimism," "subjective well-being," "positive self-concept," "nature's helping hand," "the healing power of the mind."); the Script and Games Cluster ("maladaptive schemas," "self-narratives," "story schemas," "story grammars," "personal myths," "personal event memories," "self-defining memories","core self-beliefs," , "self-concept"); the Ego States and Transactions Cluster (the idea of three egos states and the transactional interactions between them are the most distinctive feature of transactional analysis); the Transactional Analysis Theory of Change Cluster (TA is essentially a cognitive-behavioural theory of personality and change). All the clusters mentioned above are being treated in the first part of this paperwork, establishing in this way the theory foundation and integrating the current stage of science development in this specific field.
The second part of our study focuses on how all basic TA concepts and tools actually apply to organizational environment, an environment which is subject to permanent change; the utmost challenge in the current working environment consists of trying to turn the diversity of individuals into a strong point, better than attempting not to take it into account and let conflicts arise and develop. Studying the effect of ego states, transactions, games, scripts, injunctions, permissions, programming upon our working style and general behaviour in professional life, TA also offers alternatives to improve all communication processes and eventually understand and feel the benefit of positive change within our work area; case studies are very frequent and they provide a relevant image on how things look like in real life. This second chapter ends up with some change and transition approaches, regarded also from TA point of view.
The last part of this paperwork is actually TA in practice, showing what happens during a corporate negotiation between 2 companies, how power games arise inside the 2 teams (and between them also) and which is the result of such an approach.
We hope you will enjoy the ideas and examples presented throughout this work and that you will find it useful for your own professional (and also general) relationship and communication development.
