Applications overview of basic
dynamics to organizational behavior from the early 1980s involved catastrophe
models. There was a shift in focus to chaos and self-organization in the early
1990s. Importantly, the change in a system from one
self-organized state to another is an example of a catastrophe process.
Empirical studies are presented.
The
organization is a complex adaptive system that receives and interprets
environmental stimuli which themselves may be complex and dynamic. It generates
response options and information through its creative problem solving capability.
The butterfly catastrophe model of motivation combined many previously-known
dynamics affecting personnel selection and training, motivation, and work
performance, absenteeism, and turnover. Creative products are the result of a
chaotic idea generation process. Individuals filter out some ideas and attract
others depending on their goals for problem solving. The idea elements and
unique mental organization and experience are shared with other problem solvers
in group settings. Local interactions among group members culminate in the
eventual self-organization of the group such that the role of a general leader
emerges along with several other, more specific roles. Control parameters vary
by type of group task. Work group coordination applications involve
psychological theory, game theory, chaos and self-organization. The basic
process of coordination is non-hierarchical, meaning that a leader is not
required. The process is fundamentally nonverbal, although verbalization
enhances performance to some extent. Experiments on work flow in an
organizational hierarchy open up new questions pertaining to the cognitive
ability to control chaos and other dynamics.
