Roll Preserve
The term “ roll preservation” , as Jacob Levy Moreno (1889–1974) used it, arises from his understanding of the “twin concept” of spontaneity and creativity and contrasts with it. It was chosen by Moreno in the mid-1940s based on the Latin “conservare” in the sense of “preserve”, “preserve”, in order to characterize the aspect of living processes that represent the solid, constant, on the basis of which changes arise in the first place can.
background
In this context, canned food refers to stable structures of behavioral processes that function reliably. In this capacity, canned food has both positive and negative aspects. Any learned behavior that has already arisen in another, past situation can be described as a preserve. Reasons for actions in the sense of canned food can lie in positive experiences from similar situations, in certain group norms , in social rules or in one's own fear of trying something new. In contrast, Moreno defined spontaneity as an appropriate response to a new situation or a new response to an old situation . New and appropriate answers (in the sense of behavior or actions ) to a certain situation correspond to the idea of spontaneity [lat. sponte = from (own / free) will] and creativity, because they do not draw from a can in the sense of a certain routine, but rather respond to precisely this one experienced situation.
Example managers
According to Moreno's theory, the formal, informal and, in particular, the latent rules of a system are psychodramatic as preserved roles. In situations in which a change would actually be necessary, for example because the outdated behavioral patterns no longer promise the desired success, these can severely limit the spontaneity and creativity that can be activated in the system. In modern organizations, therefore, options for flexibility should be provided by the executive level. Persisting in change-resistant, rigid behavioral patterns counteracts innovative creativity and leads to hardening and standstill. According to Falko von Ameln, one of the most important tasks at management level is to activate and encourage spontaneity and creativity. The starting point here is not the individual employee as an individual, but rather one should start with the latent set of rules in order to break up the limiting boundary conditions for individual action.
