Ryszard Stocki

Ryszard Stocki (born 1960) is an organizational psychologist, educationalist and business consultant, who developed in his habilitation the first nosology of organizational pathologies.^[1] analogous to a clinical doctor’s diagnosis. in his more recent work ^[2] he offered the answer to the question of the amazing oversight ^[3] i.e. why some companies are exceptionally productive. He proposes that productivity results from total participation which is based on assuming certain anthropological foundations about human beings in organizations. His work is the continuation of the work of McGregor ^[4] and Maslow ^[5][6] but he finds the best expression of this anthropology in the works of Karol Wojtyła, particularly his theory of participation^[7] The work on total participation complements the work on organizational pathologies as it offers a concrete vision what "a healthy" organization is like.

After obtaining MAs in Psychology and English language, he completed his PhD in Psychology ^[8] He is head of Managerial and Organizational Department and Associate Professor at National-Louis University Business School in Nowy Sącz, Poland.^[9]

Ryszard Stocki holds that total participation may help to "cure" educational systems.^[10][11] health care,^[12] and business ^{[13][14] [15]}

Stocki is a proponent of the professionalization of management in non-governmental organizations, for which he wrote the handbook “Managing the Goods.”^[16]
