This phenomenological study fills this void by exploring the question of how organizational citizens perceive and experience the phenomena of change. Four focus groups were conducted with 21 organizational citizens from a variety of organizations, large and small. Through the interaction of the focus groups, 10 major themes emerged: (a) how change is presented, (b) communication, (c) planning, (d) participation in decision making, (e) technology, (f) leadership changes, (g) training, (h) positive aspects of change, (i) resistance, and (j) negative aspects of change. A written essence of change narrative was prepared and confirmed by over half the participants in the study. The research reveals that organizational citizens see change as an event, not a process. This research also demonstrates the value of exploring change holistically as organization citizens do not separate change from the event and their reactions are complex. Focus group participants responded that resistance to change is not necessarily inherent, rather dependent upon the situation which led to continued optimism that a new change may bring improvement. Focus group participants expressed a desire for partnership with their organizations through participation in decision making. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini!
