WHAT IS lNSTlTUTlONALlZATlON?
‘I’hc issues of pcrmancncc and stability are central to Lcwin’s ( 1947) unfreezing -
moving-freezing metaphor. From this metaphorical perspective. an institutional-
izcd change is one that is frozen and the process of creating that institutionalization
is freezing. Beer (1976) describes frecr.ing as follows: “the stabilization of change
at a new equilibrium state through supporting changes in refcrcncc group norms.
culture. or arganiAona1 policy and strucnm" (p. 939). As organiit;ltions arc
constantly undurpoing change and experiencing flux, talking about literal ~XVWUJ-
MWCL to dcscribc institutionalization is unrealistic. However, cxpcricnce tells us
that some changes have a longer life than others. Thcreforc, it stems reasonable to
talk about degrees of institutionalization as reflected in the duration of a state. 13~
how should such degrees be concel)tualizcA?
THE MODEL
Our process ~iidrl burlds off Lcwin’s (1947) stages of change and social learning
theory (Bandura, 1986). The model. depicted In Figure 1, comprises the following
constructs: ‘rhr three generic stages of change, the change rrlcssagc and its camp

The Stages of Change
Most models of the change process arc built around L&n’s (1947) stags ot
unfreezing. moving, and freezing. Paralleling Lewin, Bridges (1991). in his Hark
un transitions. frames the process in terms of endings, transitions, and new bcgn-
nlngs. In Figure I, we have used labels consistent with rcccnt change litcraturc (0
rlcscribe the three stages ;LSrcadincss, adoption, and institutionalization. Rrtrdir~c~ss
is the cognitive statr comprising beliefs, attitudes. and intentions toward a change
effort. When readiness for change rxists (cf. Armcnakis. Harris, 8c Mossholder.
1993), the organization is primed to embrace change and rcsistancc is reduced.
Organi?A;ional members will embrace the change and the adoption stage begins. If
nrganizational mcmbcrs are not ready, the change may be rejcctcd. and organiza-
tional members may initiate negative rractions. such as, sabotage, abscntecism. and
output restriction. A&@n is the act of behaving in the new way. on a trial basis.
That is, the change can still be rejected. As discus4 earlier. insrirurio,zr~li;LJIion IS
rctlectcd in the dcyrcc of commitment to a new way, that is, the post-change state
of the system.
the persond valence component of the change message addresses this question.
Imbedded in the concern for personal valence is the intrinsic desire for change
fairness and justice. As Cobb, Wooten. and Folgcr (1995) note, employee pcrccp-
tions of justice during periods of organizational change encompass assessments of
the fair distribution of positive and negative outcomes, of the fairness of change
procedures. and of the appropriateness of change agents’ treatment of them.
Perceptions of justice are particularly important for encouraging the typ of
extra-role behavior generally rcquircd of change efforts (Cobb et al.. 1995).
The degree to which organizational members receive adcquatc answers to their
core questions is a prime determinant of the nature of their ultimate commitment
to the change. While the emphasis in this chapter is on the institutionali/.ation of
change, it is important to note that the change message also has implications for the
creation of readiness for change (Armenakis et al., 19%) and its adoption. In fact,
to the degree that the core questions are answered adcquatcly in early stages of
change, sentiments central to institutionaliition may already be established.
The role of these five messages in generating positive change momentum is
rxemplificd in an investigation conducted by Nutt (1986). Nutt studied the change
implementation tactics of hospital executives in 9 I case studies. The most succcss-
ful tactics (labeled intervention and participation) described the change agent ;LS
demonstrating early support for the change (principal support), communicating the
need for change (discrepancy and appropriateness), and involving organi/.ational
members throughout the change process (efficacy and personal valence). The least
successful tactic (labeled edict) described the change agent as not discussing change
plans with organizational members, not justifying the need for change, and using
control and prsonal power to mandate adoption.
Before examining the strategies that can be employed to send the five key
mcssagc components, it is important that we briefly examine attributes of the
change agent that affect the persuasiveness of the change mcssagc and charac-
tcristics of the organizational members who are the targets of the change that affect
their receptivity to the mcssagc.
Institutionalizing Stratcgics
4crivc PJrtic~;p<ltion
Participation strategies can enhance the relationship between a change agent and
organizational members, build the credibility of the change agent. and establish
)wnenhip in and reinforce commitment for organiir;ltional change (cf. NUN. 1986).
Grthcrmorc, active participation’s cffcctivencss as a change strategy is based on
he concept of self-discovery, that is, the learning that results through personal
:xpericnccs. Three active participation tactics are particularly useful in building
:ommitmrnt IO chanpc: (a) cnactive mastcry, (b) vicarious learning, and (c) partici-
native decision making.
Persuasive Communication
Information from internal and external sources is a powerful lever for reinforcing
the message necdcd to institutionalize change. Examples of internal data are
employee attitudes. productivity, costs, and other performance indicators (e.g..
scrap) usually considered to he minimally influcncsd by external cnvironmcntal
fluctuations. Examples of external data include direct contact with customers via
tclephonc surveys conducted by cmployres or articles m the business press. Clearly,
much of the content of the information uill bc incorporated into messages conveyrd
using the various fomis of pcrsu:Lsivccommunication. To the extent that individuals
affect& by the change can actively participate in gathering thr: information.
believability is enhanced. Some information allows for the tracking of change
success. so important to celebrating small wins (Weick, 1984) .and keeping indi-
viduals focused on the desired changes.
Collecting survey data has a long history .asa tool for identifying the ncod for
change within the action-research community (cf. .Kadlcr, 1977,~ After a change is
initiatcci, organizational members can be reinforced to continue adoption by track-
ing the progress of change with data collcctcd from internal and external stakehold-
ers.
I.everaging and managing information from external media sources, such as the
popular business press. can be disscminatcd to further enhance adoption and
institutionalization (cf. Mncdonald. 1995). For example. compiling and sharing
press releases regarding the activities of competitors can be used IOjustify change
efforts. Other tactics, like contracting with consultants and high visibility speakers
can be very effective in reinforcing the ideas among organizational members that
the firm is employing leading cdgc technology and is considrrcd among the elite
in their business arca.

an MSF program was designed IO ensure that individual employees’ skills and
orientation were realigned IO support the new strategy. An MSF instrument was
completed by self, superior, direct reports, and peers. Personalizcxl feedback reports
were presented IOeach employee. Skill gaps for each individual were idcntitied and
during one-on-one development meetings, plans were formulated that speciticd
how skill gaps were IO be eliminated withm an 1% IO 24-month time period.
Pcrformancc appraisal and MSF provide an opportunity for an cmployce IO
receive feexlback regarding the adoption and insIiIuIionalizaIion of a11 organini-
Iional change. A difficulty in adoption is related IO the delay of the new behavior
resulting in tangible personal benefits. However, periodically giving feedback about
employee performance in rcxently changed jobs can influence valence and efficacy
sentiments. This feedback can serve IO extend the adoption (trial) period, thus
enhancing the possibility of insIiIuIionaliir;Ition.
A great deal of research has been conducted on performance appraisal focusing
on understanding and improving ability, through changing formats and training.
The motivation fur appraising the performance of others has not bcrn well rc-
searched (cf. Harris, 1994). However, rater motivation in performance appraisal is
an important variable that mu51 be recognired. If performance appraisal is IO scrvc
as a change lever, change agents must recognize the importance of this 1001. II
appears that the popularity of MSF will stimulate research, hopefully on improving
change agent ability and motivation IO appraise performance.

adopting the change may extend the adoption .and ultimately rrsult in institution-
alization.
formal activities ~wcessq to demonstrate emphatic support for the changes being
implcmcntcd which may play a major role in the overall success of the change.
Generally, such formal changes in structure and procedures arc’ substnnti;ll and
difficult. They are unlikely to be undertaken unless the orgmi~tion wholeheartedly
supports the organizational change. For example, in 1988, Whirlpool initiated a
fundamental change in business strategy by changing from a low-cost le;tder to a
product differentiation strategy. Concomitat with this change in stratcgp was ;i
change from a functional to adivisional (i.e., strategic business unit) organizational
structure. To support the new structure, rcviscd job descriptions, policies. procc-
durcs and other formal job requirements were necessary.
Other initiatives like IS0 9000 (Uzumeri, 1997) and recnginecring (Hammer &
Champy, 199.7; Vansina & Taillieu, 1996) arc implcmcntcd concomitantly tochangc
the formal activities. and thus change the way an organization conducts its business.

These formal activities naturally require new behaviors and ;1reintended to support
the organizAonal change. By applying the tactics described within the other
strategies, change agents can facilitate the adoption and institutionalirAon of thcsr
new behaviors and send ;1 powerful message regarding management’s support of
the change.
attributes and planning the implcmcntation accordingly will enhance the prob-
ability of success. In order IO establish positive momentum for the change and
minimiire the likelihood of a change initiative being cynically labeled a program-
of-the-month, organizational members nec4 IO be converted IO change agents.
The social distance that exists between the change agent’s actions and organiza-
tional members is a major issue that must be dealt with in any organizational change.
A CEO can initiate a change program, but there should be an explicit endorsement
at all levels of the organiir;ltion; otherwise, the change &fort will not succeed. Those
in leadership positions should be considered credible. should endorse the change.
and should mimic the behavior of the change agents. AI the local level these leaders
should be expected IO use the strategies in the m&l and apply them in ways that
are appropriate for the level. Thus. all strategies in the model should be used at the
macro- and micro-levels.
All strategies and tactics should be explicitly linked to the organi;t;itional change
effort and should bc considered to be complementary. In terms of linking tactics to
the change effort, the human resource management practices should dcmonstratc
support. For example, criteria rclatcd IO the change effort may be included in the
existing performance appraisal program; a multisource feedback program may bc
initiated and aimed at supporting the change effort. Similarly, the compensation
package must reinforce the change effort.
The factors in the model can be expected IO have interacrivc relationships. Thus,
a change agent who was not considered IO bc credible could negate the potential
positive effects of the strategies and tactics. WC cannot identify which factors in the
model are the most significant in the institutionalization process. Intuitively, WC
believe that those factors based on the concept of self-discovery have more impact
than those that are directly from the change agent. However, active participation
cannot be cxpcctcd IO be the sole ingrdient in the change process, although it is
significant. The other strategies should be considered as supportive and used as
appropriate IO institutionalize change. Until rcscarch can identify which are most
effective, we argue that all should be coordinated and applied in all organi&onal
change efforts. We prefer IO think about the model in terms of an athletic metaphor
and argue that omitting any element in the model is tantamount IO fielding a team
without all the playcn. Thus. we advocate USCof the contplele model in the adoption
and institutionalization of change.
