The Signs of Organizational Pathology in Companies Wholly Owned by the State Treasury – The Identification and the Analysis of the Causes of the Phenomenon Studied

Abstract

This paper discusses the identification and analysis of the pathological phenomena in fairly specific organizations, namely companies wholly owned by the State Treasury. The long-term and diverse dysfunctions that affect these organizations more often than private enterprises cause a considerable wastage of organizational resources of companies wholly owned by the State Treasury. The result of development of organizational pathologies involves difficulties in the functioning and growth of companies wholly owned by the State Treasury, as well as the decrease of competitiveness when compared to private enterprises. This paper identifies such organizational pathologies developed in companies wholly owned by the State Treasury as negative empowerment, resistance to the change syndrome, identification with object of possession or management resulting in the lack of delegation of authorities, organizational attention deficit syndrome, responsibility decline syndrome, theft of company’s property, hackwork combined with mental incapacitation of employees and making a series of irrational decisions by the executives, often to the detriment of the company.
