Abstract

What is the meaning of social context for the connection between Psychologists and Social Workers with the organization they work for? Many professionals are searching for both professional space and a fitting connectedness to the organization. This connection seems to be greatly influenced by social developments. This article will show that organizations are important communities of the future that will partially adopt the function of family and township connections. By conscious deployment of organization-communities, as a manager, it is possible to bind professionals to an organization that offers them freedom and challenge.
