The Holy Father touches in the encyclicals three groups of problems related to management. He refers:(a)- to the issue of the epigenetic purpose of organization and the most important criteria of its functioning efficiency; (b)-to the negative effects of organizations' functioning, and (c)- to the ways of counteracting these effects. In the article thoughts of John Paul II about each of these three groups of problems were discussed as well as some problems (downsizing, critical approach to management studies, and the conception of spiritual organization) close to the Papal reflection and very important for the contemporary management theory and practice.
