Being able to recognize the types of changes and how employees are affected will better help a company in the process of a change gain a better workplace environment. The following research and studies are all based on employees’ and organizational change.
Research that Shin, Taylor, & Seo (2012) based their paper on states that involvement in
planned organizational change is a long, emotionally intense, stressful, and fatiguing process for
most employees. The findings from the research they have done were that intense negative emotions experienced by most employees during organizational change lead them to become change averse and reluctant to enact supportive behaviors directed at achieving goals set by organizations’ leaders. One argument they had was that one way to boost and sustain employees’ commitment to change is to build up their individual resources prior to the start of a change process. Those individual resources then can be used to reduce the strains and stresses often associated with organizational change this will fuel employees’ commitment to it. These resources may not only have a positive impact on employee attitudes and behaviors but also produce positive organization-level outcomes (Shin, Taylor, & Seo, 2012).
