The study of organizations and organizational behavior proceeds from a rational understanding of the tasks and resources of personnel management. At the same time, the phenomena of organizational disruption remain a marginal topic of organizational research. The history of studying the phenomena of the “dark side” has about twenty years, but the question of recursive methodology remains open.The study used the “Metaphor” drawing technique proposed by A.I. Prigozhin. The participants were employees and heads of inspection divisions of the Federal Tax Service of Russia (239 people). An analysis of the drawings of organizations revealed the “dark sides” of organizational life: the conflict between official rhetoric and organizational reality; anxiety and alienation, decisions of the corruption plan, inconsistency of theory and practice, poor meaningfulness of organizational processes, powerful subject-object organizational communications, practices of domination, submission and organizational violence.
