Its main objective is to understand how people communicate in organisations, how patterns of behaviour affect the effectiveness of teams, and how interactions can be optimised to improve business performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AT assumes that the c1TP1Personality consists of three main states of the Self: <strong>Parent<\/strong>, <strong>Adult<\/strong> i <strong>Child<\/strong>. Each of these states plays a role in communication and interaction, influencing how people respond to work situations. In an organisational context, these states of Self can shape:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>company culture,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>decision-making processes,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>managing teams,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>relations between supervisors and employees,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>change management strategies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Important!<\/strong><br>Transactional Analysis assumes that communication between people occurs at the level of so-called \"transactions\" - the exchange of messages between different levels of the Self.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you want to learn more about transactional analysis you will definitely be interested in the book -. <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/grupaspotkanie.pl\/en\/product-2\/book-at-for-trainers\/\"><strong>\"Transactional analysis for trainers\".<\/strong><\/a><strong>.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Definition of transactional analysis according to ITAA<\/strong>Transactional Analysis as defined by the International Transactional Analysis Association (ITAA) is defined as follows: <em>\"AT is a theory of personality and a system of psychotherapy focused on personal growth and personal change.\"<\/em> Currently, the scope of analytical theories and their application definitely goes beyond the field of psychotherapy and is still being explored and expanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to learn even more about transactional analysis?

In organisations, this means building relationships based on mutual respect and trust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Everyone has the ability to think<\/strong> - employees are able to analyse the situation and make decisions independently, which is conducive to delegating responsibility and promoting autonomy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Everyone can make a decision and take responsibility for their lives<\/strong> - In the business environment, this translates into the strengthening of individual and team responsibility.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wondering if transactional analysis is for you?

It is the foundation of effective management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Parent<\/strong> Shapes the organisational culture, norms and motivational system. It can be supportive (caring) or critical (normative).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Child<\/strong> brings creativity, innovation and excitement, but in excess can lead to conflict or destabilise the team.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Transactions in communication<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>In business, transactions (units of communicative exchange) are analysed in order to understand what states of the Self are activated in a given interaction. These can be:<br>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Complementary<\/strong> \u2013 inaczej nazywana prost\u0105 ma miejsce, gdy odpowied\u017a osoby B wychodzi ze stanu Ja, do kt\u00f3rego nadawca A skierowa\u0142 bodziec i jest adresowana do tego samego stanu Ja, z kt\u00f3rego nadawca A wys\u0142a\u0142 bodziec. Zdaniem Berne&#8217;a, transakcje komplementarne to transakcje oczekiwane i adekwatne do danej sytuacji.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Crossed<\/strong> - It leads to a break (sometimes very short) of the previous relationship between the interlocutors and the further exchange of transactions already takes place in a modified form. The effect of crossed transactions is usually withdrawal, surprise or indignation. This type of transaction is the most common source of misunderstandings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hidden<\/strong> - person A sends a stimulus from two different states of the Self to two different states of the Self of receiver B. Recipient B responds to the stimulus also from the two states of Self to which the stimulus was directed. One of the stimuli is sent at the overt, so-called socially accepted level, and the other at the covert, so-called psychological level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Analysis of psychological games<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Psychological games, or repetitive patterns of behaviour leading to negative outcomes, are a common problem in organisations. They can manifest themselves in the form of conflict, decreased efficiency, frustration or a tense atmosphere. Examples of games include:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8211; Ja tylko pr\u00f3buje Ci pom\u00f3c<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8211; Do us\u0142ug&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8211; Udr\u0119czona<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recognition marks<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Recognition signs are signals that people send to each other to confirm the existence of a relationship. In organisations, positive stigmas, such as praise and recognition, enhance motivation and commitment, while their absence or an excess of negative signs leads to frustration and a decline in morale.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Benefits of using transactional analysis in business<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Improving communication<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>With AT, managers and employees can better understand their communication patterns and avoid misunderstandings arising from crossed or hidden transactions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Building healthy relationships<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>The analysis of life scripts and psychological games allows for the elimination of destructive behavioural patterns, which promotes the building of authentic and open relationships.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Effective management of teams<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Recognising the states of Self in employees allows the management style to be adapted to their needs and potential.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Motivation and commitment<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Positive recognition marks enhance employees' sense of worth and motivation, which translates into efficiency and commitment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Conflict resolution<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>By understanding the mechanisms of transactions and psychological games, AT enables you to quickly identify the source of conflict and implement effective strategies to resolve it.
