\ ȯr-gə-nə-ˈzā-shnəl ˈthərst \
Unmet cultural needs felt by members of organizations.
Organizational thirst can only be quenched by changes at the organizational scale, and usually cannot be identified by only observing individuals.

‘The secrecy led to dissatisfaction, and organizational thirst grew. No one could point to why. Once leadership implemented more transparency measures, the thirst was quenched and job satisfaction increased.’
