Abstract :
The aim of this article is to present political metaphor as a managerial approach in order to provide a better understanding on how to practice such a metaphor in a real management practice. The theories of management can be categorized into two schools of thought, i.e. instrumental account and social action account. The analysis of instrumental account started from ‘the organization’, whereas the analysis of social action account started from ‘the actor’s social action’. Instrumental account of organization saw organization as being pre-existent and independent of people’s perception and action. In this account, managerial works were seen as being neutral, predictable, rational, and free from manager’s interests. On the contrary, social action account of organization saw organization as the product of people’s action in negotiating meanings and interests. In this account, managerial works were seen as partisan, not neutral, sometimes irrational, and not free from manager’s interests. One of the derivatives of social action account was political methapor, besides cultural metaphor. Political metaphor saw organization as a political entity that every actor, including managers, was trying to negotiate, bargain and compromize their interests in every organizational event by exercising power. Every actor, including manager, played within the area of surface politics to compete their interests. Overt interests would always be propagated and advocated to other actors by managers in order to achieve managers’ interests. In the light of political metaphor, an effective manager is the one who can propagate overt interests to other actors and can keep covert interests unknown by others.
