INTERNAL CAUCUSES AND THE MARGINALIZATION OF CRITIQUE IN ORGANIZATIONS

This article examines the internal dynamics through which power preserving caucuses emerge within socio-religious,cultural and political organizations. It analyses how mission-oriented goals are gradually displaced by self-protection strategies rooted in narrative control selective inclusion and ideological mediation. The discussion explores mechanisms of escalating misrepresentation of ground realities, ill-treatment with whistle-blowers,fragmentation of opposition and reliance on shifting visions that hinder accountability. Attention is given to the role of external intellectual frameworks that quietly legitimize such practices while avoiding responsibility. Rather than advocating direct confrontation the article proposes measured detachment and critical vigilance as ethically sustainable responses. By highlighting the self-defeating nature of these structures, the analysis contributes to understanding organizational decay and the conditions under which authority undermines the mission and vision of organizations
