Organisasi Paranoid: Ancaman Disintegrasi Sosial-Manajemen

Abstract

This study aims to examine the sources, impacts, and ways to overcome paranoid organizations by using a
qualitative approach in the method of analysis and reviewing the literature on the research design. Through the
elaboration process carried out in the context of the study, the results of the study reveal that there are 5 (five)
types of pathological organizations, namely dramatic organizations, suspicious organizations, compulsive
organizations, detached organizations, and depressive organizations. The main sources of paranoid
organizations are restructuring, leadership styles, and identity politics. If not taken seriously, the paranoid
organizational conditions will lead to widespread and deep-rooted conflicts and have implications for social-
management disintegration. This will contribute to management dysfunction and hinder the achievement of
organizational goals. Massive, structured, and systematic efforts are needed to prevent and overcome the negative
consequences of paranoid organizational conditions. This study recommends several variables that must be
considered and implemented by management, namely conflict management, internalization of social values, and
the application of the right leadership style.
