Summary/Abstract: The roots of presented here images of an organization come from psychoanalytic approach to both individuals, groups and organizations. The predominant fantasies, beliefs, and aspirations of key decision makers make relevant influence on the nature of their organizations. Thanks to applying the notion of personality with reference to an organization, we want to point out mechanisms and phenomena essential for its functioning, showing the organization as a dynamic system of forces and relations among its members. There are discussed two aspects of organizational unconscious regression and projection as examples of defense mechanisms.
