ABSTRACT

Psychoanalysis is used to open a window into individual behaviors, as well as into organizational environments, cultures, and management theory. It promotes a better understanding of how environments and management interactions can affect an individual by directly analyzing the impact on the unconscious mind and in return the impact that the unconscious mind can have on individual behaviors. Psychoanalysis confronts the unconscious mind in a formalized manner evaluating the implicit and explicit impacts that culture, environment, and leadership have on it (Foucault 1970).
