Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study, which is handled with an interdisciplinary perspective, is to examine the existence of symbiotic relationships in organizational life. In order to realize the aim of the study, the concept of symbiotic life has been reduced to organizational life. Because there are symbiotic relationships within the organization. In symbiotic life, which is a concept based on biology, living things live together and depend on each other. The most striking point in this type of relationship is that living things affect each other to benefit or harm. As a result of the examination, it was determined that there are people who live on someone else in the life of the organization. In addition, the presence of those who took shelter in someone else's shadow was also observed. Again, there are those who pursue business partnerships on a unilateral or mutual interest. As a result, three different types of workers and behaviors have been identified in organizations acting in symbiotic relationship: collaborators, refugees and parasites.
