ABSTRACT
The power of "The Individual and Organization: Some Problems of Mutual Adjustment" is evident in the original thought of the author, Chris Argyris, who built upon existing organization theory. The central concepts Argyris identified responded to the question of how organizations could develop while balancing their needs with those of individuals. The originality of Argyris's work remains largely undisputed by social scientists. It focuses on the context of industrial organizations, the evaluation of management practices, and the impacts and consequences for individuals. Argyris's analysis of organizational behavior and human interaction in the workplace remains highly significant today. It will likely continue to guide academic and practical discussions on the subject in the future. Chris Argyris's "The Individual and Organization" introduced a model of individual professional behavior based on the goal of achieving self-actualization. His micro-level analysis of experiential learning was a particularly original way of exploring embedded organizational problems and serves as a great contribution to performance-oriented research.
