Four Archetypal Shadows

A Look at the Dark Side of Public Organizations

University of Wyoming

Unfortunately, there are a significant number of public servants who dislike their work Many of these people experience a sense of alienation that makes them feel separate from themselves and others. Using Jung's theory of psychological type and Keirsey and Bates's four temperaments as his starting point, the author gives shape to the alienation that many public employees experience by presenting four archetypal `shadows" that affect the behavior of organizational employees. The four shadows presented are the self-seeking careerist or the alienated intuitive thinker, the regulator or the alienated sensate judger, the manipulator or the alienated intuitive feeler, and the philistine or the alienated sensate perceiver. None of the people who are profoundly affected by these shadows affirm life, instead they engage in death-denying and ultimately self-destructive behaviors.
