Organizational First Principles and Introduction to the Organizational Field Theory

Kostas Langas ()

Chapter Chapter 6 in Organizational Structuralism, 2023, pp 149-179 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, some Organizational first principles are reviewed so as to rationalize and sustain the introduction to the Organizational Field Theory. Some fundamental considerations or “starting from first principles” towards a new paradigm for organizational development: the Organizational Fields are presented. The necessary canonical symbolic and material structures for a comprehensive structural field theory of organizations as well as the property of conservative and of non-conservative organizational fields are studied. The organizational fields as non-conservative fields are also discussed including the properties of homogeneity in organizational field theory, of isotropy, of the homeostatic (and heterostatic) properties and the cause-effect correlation. Furthermore, there are the properties of metrification and of anelyxis in Organizations as systems of canonical structures submerged in organizational fields. The principles of organizational structuralism as a field theory derivative and the need towards a new paradigm of managerial ability are also discussed.
