A Change Management Perspective
Abstract
This chapter argues discrepancy between anticipated and actual effects can be understood if the implementation of reform within organizations. It also discusses identifying three contributions of integrating the change management literature and public sector reform literature as complementary fields of study. The chapter presents the emergent approach to change is regarded as a more devolved and bottom-up approach to implementing change. In this sense, the use of the term emergent change is thus comparable to what other authors refer to as organizational development. A theoretical model involving these variables was constructed and fitted to the data using the statistical technique of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Both planned change and emergent change processes are positively related to commitment to change among employees. The relationship between both change approaches and commitment to change is indirect. The analysis indicates that high degrees of both change communication and employee participation are positively related to commitment to change.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
