want by remaining what we
are”

 Effects of change

• Change is experienced as stressful regardless of its source.

• When change is positive, the efficiency and productivity of
the organization are increased, facilitating the achievement
of the organization’s goals and mission. Individual and group
morale are improved and there is an overall sense of
cohesion and well-being.
 Effects of change

• When change has a negative impact, there is a significant

increase in stress, anxiety, and resistance . This, in turn, leads to
decreased efficiency and productivity which interferes with
achieving the goals and mission of the organization.
• Another casualty of negative change is common sense—coping
strategies or operational plans are adopted that are illogical,
poorly conceived, or fail to anticipate unexpected consequences

Behavior
Across Culture
The organization consists of a collectivity with
a relatively identifiable boundary, a normative
order (rules), ranks of authority (hierarchy),
communications system, and membership
coordinating systems (procedures). The
organization has its goals and human
resources as well as constraints.
Organizational employees have skills,
knowledge, needs, and values pertaining to
work and they both complement each other.
