Abstract

The work represents the habilitation thesis in sociology defended at the Doctoral School of Sociology of the University of Bucharest on February 11, 2022. It tells the evolution of the research carried out by the author in the field of organizational behavior, the context in which they were carried out and the consequences they had . It is not just an autobiography with professional accents, but a punctuation of those aspects behind the scenes of sociological research that train as specialists those who undertake to analyze institutions, heal them and make them perform. Organizations easily derail from the purposes for which they were established, focus on marginal things and less on customers, abandon strategies by drifting without direction or meaning, indifferent to employee or beneficiary issues and without taking a system of values ​​and beliefs. Sociology can redesign organizations, and the author shows how he learned to use it to build strong institutions.
