Which process occurs in organizations when the rules become an end in themselves rather than a means to an end, and organizational survival becomes more important than achievement of goals?

Goal displacement

Explanation:

Goal Displacement is a situation in which the original goals of the organization are superseded by the new goals which are developed during the course of time. Goal displacement can happen because of many reasons and at many levels, with the only objective of ensuring the growth and prosperity of the company.

Organizations develop initial goals to be achieved and for achieving them some methods and rules are devised and followed. But during the course of time, these rules and procedures may become primary and more important than the original goals. The new goals may serve the interest of the employees or the management of the organization. This is an inevitable threat organizations face.

In cases where the organization's original goals are already achieved or when the original goals are no longer necessary, goal displacement has positive effects which help to organization to direct its energy elsewhere.
