尽管有很多关于管理当代组织的实用建议，但管理者似乎仍在努力扮演好自己的角色。试图管理过多的利益相关者的利益可能会产生相当多的悖论和双重束缚，经常让善意的高管感到沮丧和幻灭。这是因为人们太过关注于理解管理者做了什么，而忽略了他们为什么这么做。研究个人动机的重要性是帮助管理者科普这些困难的关键，因为它突出了权力和政治在管理中的中心地位。本文以这一观点为基础，发展了合法政治心态的概念，展示了采用这一观点如何使管理者从根本上重新定义他们的工作内容和管理活动模式，以造福于他们的企业，而不仅仅是他们自己。
Despite the abundance of practical advice for managing contemporary organisations, managers still seem to struggle with their role. Trying to manage a plethora of stakeholder interests can create a considerable array of paradoxes and double binds that often leave well‐intentioned executives feeling frustrated and disillusioned. This is because too much attention has been given to understanding what managers do at the expense of why they do it. Examining the importance of personal motive is key in helping managers cope with these difficulties because it highlights the centrality of power and politics in managing. This paper builds on this perspective by developing the idea of a legitimate political mindset, showing how the adoption of this perspective enables managers fundamentally to redefine the content of their work and their managerial activity patterns for the benefit of their businesses, not just themselves.
