Employees' Subjectness Development in Target Projects: Social Psychological Fundamentals of Reflective Management

A reflective approach to management implies introducing both the 'psychological echo' factor into the decision making procedure (that is, taking into account other people's reactions on a decision) and the 'psychological mechanism' into the process of decision implementation (according to the monitored social well-being). The key issue in this process is for the organisational goal in its functional state to become a personal goal for the employee. The specified management task implies working carefully and consistently with the following types of people's consciousness: 'consciousness-content' (explaining the objective meaning of the task), 'consciousness -condition' (helping people realise what this task means to them personally), and 'consciousness-attitude' (assisting people in accepting the task). If the task and it underlying strategic goal are organisationally clear to the staff and accepted by each member, then a special disposition (subjective potential of activity) develops within the staff. It is at this very moment that the organisational and regulatory mechanism of reflective management goes off.
