Behavioral change
3 Level of change
Individual:
Everything about people affect the organization.
Group:
Organization:
Just the place for organization & people
Nature of change: Emergent vs planned
Emergent:
Planned: Structured manner changes / you develop steps, ideas etc.
Plan & reality: You still need to adjust or change your plan when the circumstance change.
From A to B is not easy!
Planned organizational change
Deliberate activities that move an organization from its present state to a desired future state
The idea of planned change: Intentional & purposive change
Some problems with organizational change
- Only 1/3 planned organizational change interventions actually succeed
- A panel study of more than 90,000 workers found that organizational change led to
increased use of stress-related medication
That’s why we need change leaders
Often conceptualized as a managerial skill, change management has been touted as a
critical competency in contemporary executive surveys (Coordinate .. ability to meet changes)
Challenges for change leaders
1. No consensus in scientific literature on basic change processes–rather, expert opinions
from popular writers (Many manager remove middle management, adopt too fast of
the change without thinking if it really fit their own org content)
2. Difficulty of learning from experience, because change processes are not repeatable &
do not provide direct feedback

,Lecture 2 Change Management Models
Theory of planned behavior (TPB): Change on individual level
7 Characteristics of planned change
1. realizing intended outcomes
2. based on the reason for change & the context
3. by means of influencing stakeholders
4. by going through a process with phases & steps
5. by communicating & sensemaking
6. where the entire process is being led
7. by interventions from change agents/leaders
Still, planned change is a good idea
Change recipients who view the change as implemented in a rational, planful & deliberate
fashion are found to have more favorable reactions than those who see implementation as
less planful
