Organizational Citizenship And Personal Freedom.

- Abstract
The emergence of a society marked by an immense proliferation of organization suggests that the relevant citizenship experiences of modern man may be rapidly shifting from the traditional modes of political affiliation to "the more exotic citizenships of private association." Essential to an adequate response, however, is a clear understanding of both the rights and obligations imposed by theorists on man's involvement in the current institutional approach of organizational analysis requires the establishment of a set of characteristics or attributes defining organization. However, the apparent necessity of imputing certain values to the "organizational condition" has placed severe restrictions on the ability of theorists to respond adequately to the valuational questions raised by the organizational world of modern man. In its original sense, "political," being derived from the Greek polls, referred specifically to the public affairs of the city-state. Thus, the Greek concept of politics was limited to those problems of order involving the common interests of all members of a society. For this reason, the ancient Greek would have found great difficulty in imagining a "politics of the market-place."
