Zusammenfassung

Arbeit wird zunehmend volatil, unsicher, komplex und mehrdeutig. Organisationen begegnen diesen Trends, indem sie im Zuge von New Work-Maßnahmen ihre Organisationstrukturen und Arbeitsprozesse demokratisieren. Häufig stehen dabei die Strukturen im Fokus der Organisationsentwicklung und nicht die Menschen, die darin arbeiten müssen. In diesem Artikel wird aufgezeigt, wie die Schwächen eines strukturellen Empowerments durch psychologisches Empowerment kompensiert werden können und wie Coaches dazu beitragen können, dass New Work-Maßnahmen gelingen.

Abstract

Work becomes increasingly volatile, insecure, complex and ambiguous. Organizations respond to these trends by democratizing their organizational structures and work processes which they call New Work. Such organizational development measures usually focus on organizational structures, not on the people who have to work therein. This article shows how weaknesses of the structural empowerment can be compensated by the psychological empowerment and how coaches can contribute to the success of modern forms of collaboration.
