Abstract
This paper reviews the first major application of living systems theory (LST) at the level of the organization. The research, based on data from more than 5000 respondents in 35 U.S. Army battalions in the United States and West Germany, examines the relationship between conventional assessments of organizational effectiveness and evaluations of LST processes. The research findings indicate that living systems process analysis (LSPA) provides a methodology for understanding the dynamics of organizational effectiveness and for diagnosing problems which can impede this effectiveness. Also considered are difficulties encountered in attempting to derive an empirically relevant methodology from living systems theory.
