The purpose of this article is to introduce organizational application of allostasis. This is to be used as a very convenient replacement of homeostasis which has been lost due to adverse circumstances created by a turbulent environment. This application is derived by the continuous diagnosis and observation of the chosen sample. The sample has been positioned in various organizational situations represented by FOGT’s businesses organization from 1982 to 2014. The situation is determined by a recognized level of organizational effectiveness or potential ineffectiveness caused by dysfunctions created by surroundings. In such circumstances organizational homeostasis based on stability does not exist and it has to be replaced by allostasis. When homeostasis represents the idea of achieving organizational stability through constancy, allostasis represents the idea of achieving stability through change. This article presents a brief summary of the results of the diagnosis based on qualitative, long lasted depth analysis. The author's tool “The business life cycle model of organizational effectiveness influenced by dysfunctions” is based on the research of the organizational situation. The summary interprets all outcomes of the research and expresses the sense of implemented organizational adaptation through changes as allostasis.

Artykuł zawiera przegląd badań nad zapewnieniem przetrwania firmy zagrożonej bankructwem jako głównego celu działania allostatycznego. W toku badań prowadzono bardzo specyficzną procedurę diagnozowania i pozycjonowania sytuacji organizacyjnej reprezentowanej przez firmę FOGT w okresie od 2014 do 2018 roku. Przedmiotowa procedura badawcza koncentruje się w szczególności na roku 2018, jednak zaprezentowane wyniki badań obejmujące lata 2014–2017 stanowią niezbędne tło dla podkreślenia empirycznych walorów całego badania. Sytuacja organizacyjna badanego biznesu jest zdeterminowana przez osiągany (zdiagnozowany) poziom skuteczności organizacyjnej lub potencjalną nieskuteczność spowodowaną dysfunkcjami. Diagnoza opiera się na jakościowej, długotrwałej, dogłębnej analizie sytuacji organizacyjnej badanej firmy za pomocą autorskiego narzędzia o nazwie „Model sprawnościowo-dysfunkcyjnego cyklu życia organizacji”. Przyrząd pomiarowy (system oceny) tego modelu jest wykorzystywany do wprowadzania wyników realizowanych prac badawczych. Tak zebrane wyniki każdej indywidualnej diagnozy dają obraz ogólnego poziomu sprawności organizacyjnej danej firmy rocznie, przez cały okres badań. Wyniki te są wizualizowane na odpowiedniej skali, co pozwala w pełni wykorzystać możliwości diagnostyczne model.
