Lois,
I imagine that there are tons of studies since the 1970's. But I also consider that any analysis must include the results of many TQM implementations since the 1980's, which led to openness to change through employee involvement in the process itself.
Thanks,
Ivan

Hi Lois,
I hear students, EE participants, and clients all talk about getting "buy-in." As suggested in your sentence below they seem to believe it's either "acceptance or resistance." I've developed a seven level scale of "buy-in" in response to the attempts of others to lead. No instruments yet, but it seems to me that when one tries to influence others (using whatever techniques) the responses tend to fall in these categories from worst to best: active resistance, passive resistance (dropping a wrench, going slow, etc.), apathy, compliance, agreement (I will do what you want me to do), engagement (I want to do what you want me to do), and passion (what you want me to do is the most important thing in my life right now). I don't believe response to change is binary...
Just for your consideration....
Cheers,
Jim

Subject: Meta-analysis - reactions to organizational change
Dear OB listserv members,
On behalf of one of my students, I am writing to request unpublished studies for a meta-analysis on "employee reactions to organizational change."
Appropriate studies measure any of the following:
1. employee reactions to organizational change (e.g., acceptance, resistance); or,
2. attitudes or emotions that occur in response to change (e.g., justice perceptions, stress); or,
3. a related personality disposition (e.g. openness to change).
Please feel free to send along studies that even remotely match these criteria.
Unpublished studies can be emailed to Luke Brooks-Shesler at
lbrookss@gmu.edu.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
Sincerely,
Dr. Lois Tetrick
