A Rational-Emotive paradigm for organizations

A case is made for incorporating a Rational Emotive paradigm within an organization setting. The paradigm consists of four separate, interconnected components: 1) Goals of the organization, 2) Management Effectiveness Training, 3) Staff Effectiveness Training, 4) Employee and Family Assistance Programs. The role of Rational Emotive theory is explained in terms of each component. Characteristics, attributes, and traits of employees working in a Rational Emotive Organization are postulated, and advantages to the organization are identified. A proposed ABC framework for the effective organization parallels the traditional model developed by Albert Ellis, founder of Rational Emotive Therapy.
