CHANGE AND KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS

WHAT IS CHANGE?
Change is considered with making things different. Change intervention is a planned action to make things different. The person or persons who act as catalysts and assume the responsibility for managing the change process is the change agent.
Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS 2

Defn of CHANGE
Change is defined as to make or become different, give or begin to have a different form. Change also means dissatisfaction with the old and belief in the new.

Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS

WHY CHANGE ?
To survive and eventually prosper, an organization must monitor its external environment and align itself with changes that occur, or tend to occur. Change takes place on three levels:
Self
Team or organization The larger system
Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS 4

Contd,
The self, the team or the (small) organization and the wider system that surrounds the team or the small organization or the organizational unit depending on how the borders are defined. In a process, change needs to be facilitated on all three levels to become sustainable.
Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS 5

Contd,
Simply managing change is insufficient. Successful change requires leadership. The old saying, You can lead a horse to water, but you cant make it drink. Eight step model to implement change by John P.Kotter 1. Establish a sense of urgency 2. Obtain management & peer backing 3. Create a vision for change 4. Communicate the vision Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS 6

DEALING WITH CHANGE


Change is an inevitable part of all organization. The world we live in is constantly changing and at an accelerated rate. Organizations and individuals must continually adapt to this changing environment by changing themselves or they will not survive. Some people accept and some people resist Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS 9 change.

Phases of change
When change is introduced & there is an understanding that it will be implemented, we experience the following 1. Denial When things change, the first reaction is to deny it. 2. Bargaining & Negotiating when we perceive that the change dont go away, we still believe things worked better before the change & bargain for reinstating the old system. 3. Anger when we realize change is here to stay, and we can do nothing about it, we get angry.
Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS 10

HOW TO DEAL WITH CHANGE


Once change is communicated and implemented, we can play a part in reducing the effects on us by: 1. Accepting 2. Communicating share and communicate our feeling through which we get more information and fear can be reduced. 3. Planning where we were and where we want to be, how we are going to get there. Clarify goals and expectations, get feedback 11 from others. Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS

REASONS to RESISTANCE for CHANGE

Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS

12

INDIVIDUAL RESISTANCE
The following are the five reasons why individuals may resist change:

1. Habit while going to college use the same route. 2. Security- threatens their feelings of safety 3. Economic Factors changes will lower ones income
specially when pay is closed tied with productivity

4. Fear Of The Unknown the experience of school to


college

5. Selective Information Processing:- Individuals


shape their world through their perceptions.
Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS 13

ORGANIZATIONAL RESISTENCE
1. Structural Inertia selection process. 2. Limited Focus Of Change Depts are interdependent, difficult
to change one without affecting others.

3. Group Inertia individuals want to change but group acts as


constraint. Union member.

4. Threat To Expertise decentralized personal computers, which


allow for managers to gain access to information directly from a company mainframe. It was resisted by centralized information depts.

Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS

14

ORGANIZATIONAL RESISTENCE
5. Threat To Establish Power Relationship redistribution
of decision making authority can threaten long-established power relationships within the organization.

6. Threat To Establish Resource Allocations Groups in


the organization that control sizable resources often see change as a threat. Reduction in their budget or cut in their staff size?

Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS

15

OVERCOMING RESISTENCE TO CHANGE


Six tactics have been suggested for use by change agents in dealing with resistance to change. 1. Education & Communication 2. Participation 3. Facilitation & Support counseling, training etc to reduce fear. 4. Negotiation 5. Manipulation & Co-optation Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS 16 6. Coercion

Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS 19

PERSONAL CHANGE PROCESS


Step 1: PC starts with discovery, finding out more about yourself; how you do things, how you have been limiting your options. Discovery involves willingness to learn. Learning might be unexpected & surprising.

Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS

20

Contd...,
Step 2:
After discovery phase clearing phase starts which involves the process of realizing and rejecting the wrong answers which have become a part of us. Ex: The problem with getting angry inappropriately. The process of discovery helps realize that the anger really belonged with a specific incident 30 years ago. That would allow clearing undesirable responses now. Clearing is a key element in Personal Change. Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS 21

Contd...,
Step 3: Clearing then leads to programming which is establishing useful ways of how to do things. That might involve the discovery of how things are being done and the creation of more powerful new methods. Once the Programming phase is over the phase of processing starts.

MYERS BRIGGS TYPE INDICATOR (MBTI)


Psychological tool used for selfawareness. Myers Briggs classification means the person can begin to identify preference in behavior & how the individual is similar to & different from him/her.
Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS 41

Contd...,
The MBTI preferences indicate the differences in people that result from the following 1. Where they prefer to focus their attention & get energy (Extroversion or Introversion) 2. The way they prefer to take in information (Sensing or Intuition) 3. The way they prefer to make decisions (Thinking or Feeling) 4. How they orient themselves to the external world-with a judging process or a perceiving process (Judging or Perceiving) There is no right or wrong to these preferences. Each identifies normal & valuable human behaviors.
Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS 42

The MBTI model is useful for: 1. Understanding & developing yourself 2. Understanding & developing others 3. Understanding what motivates others 4. Understanding others strengths & weaknesses 5. Working in teams-by ensuring that all relevant necessary capabilities are represented in the team 6. Allocating & agreeing tasks & project responsibilities 7.

2. SELF ANALYSIS
Personal change begins with analyzing oneself. Self analysis has to do with a personal SWOT analysis. Self analysis helps a person in understanding: Whether or not one has a suitable aptitude for a given job. Whether or not one is capable of handling the various roles and responsibilities one has accepted. What motivates and what drains ones energy.
Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS 59

Whether one brings out the best in others or the worst in others. Who in the environment be it a personal or official capacity brings out the best in oneself and who brings out the worst in oneself? Ones stress tolerance potential. Whether one is doing the work that is meaningful to himself / herself, others around him/her, his/her organization and community. An important aspect of self analysis is to examine whether one has meaningful relationships with others & to move away from relationships that are not fulfilling.

According to Hellriegel, Slocum & Woodman defined Self esteem as the result of an individuals continuing evaluation of himself or herself. According to Rosenbergs described it as a favorable or unfavorable attitude toward the self.
Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS 64

Contd,
Factors determining ones self esteem: build an image of oneself through ones experiences with different people & activities. experience during childhood, - ones successes & failures, - how we were treated by the members of ones immediate family, teachers, coaches, religious authorities, & by ones peers, all contributes to the creation of ones basic self esteem.
Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS 65

Contd,
Nature of Low Self-Esteemed Person & Healthy Self Esteemed Person - People with low self-esteem often rely on how they are doing in the present to determine how they feel about themselves. They need +ve external experiences to counteract the ve feelings & thoughts that constantly plague them. Even them the good feeling can be temporary. - People with healthy self esteem are able to assess oneself accurately. They will be able to realistically acknowledge ones strengths & limitations & at the same time accepting oneself as worthy & worthwhile without conditions or reservations.

Facets of Low self-Esteem


It is not so easy to recognize low self esteem The three common faces that low self esteem may wear are The Impostor pretends to be happy & successful Lives with a constant fear that he or she will be found out Needs continuous successes to maintain the mask of +ve self esteem

The Rebel acts against the opinions or good will of othersespecially people who are important or powerful-dont matter. - Lives with constant anger about not feeling good enough - Continuously needs to prove that others judgments & criticisms dont hurt

Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS 70

Contd,

Measures to overcome Low self-esteem:

First believe that one can change, and should be willing to change. There are three steps one can take to begin to change ones selfesteem: Step 1: Rebut the Inner Critic challenge the ve messages of the critical inner voice. I failed the class test. I dont understand anything in class. I shouldnt be taking this course. Rebut the critic by saying I did poorly on this one test, but Ive done O.K. on all the assignments.

4. SELF-EFFICACY
According to Albert Bandura, self-efficacy refers to an individuals sense of competence or ability in general or in particular domains.

Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS

74

ORGANIZATIONAL ROLES
Personal change has a direct impact in an Organization & the roles that individuals play. In a social system an organization has roles with expectations that require individuals to perform certain tasks called job duties. Discharge of duties. People must be attracted not only to the organization but also to remain in it. People must perform the task for which they are hired, and must do so in a dependable manner and People must go beyond the dependable role performance & engage in creative, spontaneous & innovative behaviour at work. The organizational structure & Individual characteristics need to be matched to become effective. This matching leads to Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS in the organization. the evolving of a Role 75

Contd,
The organization structure consists of - Work Structure, Status Structure, Authority Structure, Individual Characteristics like Interest, Attitudes, Needs. There are TWO Role Systems - Role Space each individuals plays several roles like daughter, mother, sales person, member of a club & so on. - Role Set is a pattern of interrelationship between one role among many others. Role is a convergence region between the individual & the organization. What is given in a organization chart is the position & when the individual occupies a position, it becomes a role.

It has been defined as a set of Behaviours enacted by a person as a result of his occupying a certain position in 76 the organization. Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS

Making organizational roles effective


Role effectiveness depends on: Having high role efficacy on the part of the role occupant and By developing a style & strategy to cope with the Role Conflict or stress.

Role Efficacy: The performance of a person working in an organization depends on his own potential effectiveness, technical competence, managerial experience etc as well as on the design of the role that he performs in an organization. Its the integration of the two (the person and the role) that ensures a persons effectiveness. Role efficacy can be seen as the psychological factor underlying role effectiveness.
Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS 77

Role Efficacy and Effectiveness: Research shows that persons with high role efficacy seem to experience less role stress, anxiety and work-related tension. They rely on their own strengths to cope with problems, use more purposeful behaviour, are active and interactive with people & the environment, show growth orientation, attitudinal commitment and positive approach behaviour. Aspects of Role Efficacy: According to Udai Pareek role efficacy has several aspects. The more aspects there are the higher is the efficacy. He classified them into 3 groups or dimensions DIMENSION 1: ROLE MAKING 1. Self-role integration : Every person has strength, experience, technical training, special skills. When this role provides him with greater opportunity for using such spl strength, his role efficacy is likely to be higher. This is Prof.MADHVI 78 called self-role integration. MISHRA,AIeMS

Contd..,

Contd..,
2. Proactivity : Reactive behaviour (responding to the expectations of other) helps a person to be effective to some extent but Proactivity (taking the initiative rather than only responding to others expectations) contributes much more to efficacy. If a person likes to take initiative but if he don get any opportunity in his role than the efficacy will be low. 3. Creativity : An opportunity to be creative and try new and unconventional ways of solving problems also enhance efficacy. 4. Confrontation : When people facing interpersonal problems sit down and talk about them and search out solutions, their efficacy is likely to be higher compared to situations where they either deny having such problems or refer them to the higher officers.
Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS 79

DIMENSION 2: ROLE CENTERING

Contd..,

5. Centrality : If a person feels that the role he occupies is central to the organization, his role efficacy is likely to be high. If people feel that their roles are peripheral i.e., not very important, their potential effectiveness will be low. Ex: Ward boys and attendants in hospital
6. Influence: The more influence a person is able to exercise in his role, the higher its efficacy is likely to be. 7. Personal growth : the perception that the role provides the individual with an opportunity to grow and develop creates high efficacy.
Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS 80

Contd..,
DIMENSION 3: ROLE LINKING 8. Inter-role linkage : Linking ones role with others in the organization increases efficacy. If there is a joint effort to understand problems, find solutions, etc., efficacy of the various roles is likely to be high. 9. Helping relationships: If person performing perticular role feels that he can get help from some source in the organization whenever the need arises, he is likely to have higher role efficacy. 10. Super ordination : When a person performing a particular role feels that what he does is likely to be of value to larger groups, his efficacy is likely to be high.

Prof.MADHVI MISHRA,AIeMS

81

Contd..,
Role Conflict / Stress and Effectiveness The concept of role and the two role systems, role space and role set have a built in potential for conflict and stress. Role conflict : Different expectations or demands from the role senders, on a person at work produce role conflict. Role Ambiguity : occurs when an employee is uncertain about assigned job duties and responsibilities. Role conflict and role ambiguity are particularly significant source of job-related stress. Role stress : Having responsibility for the behaviour of others and lack of opportunity to participate in decision making which affects the role occupant creates, role stress.

Strategies to deal with role conflict and stress: 1. ROLE SPACE CONFLICTS: Role space is a dynamic relationship between the various roles an individual occupies and his self. It has three main variables: self, the role under question, & the other roles he occupies. Any conflicts among these are referred to as role space conflict or stress. These conflicts may take several forms : i. Self-Role distance : This stress arise out of the conflict between the self-concept and the expectations from the role, as perceived by the role occupant. Solution is role integration. ii. Intra-role conflict : incompatibility between the different expectations. Role linkage by using creativity is a solution. iii. Role Stagnation : during promotion, when one person will be promoted he feels it difficult to shift his role from one level to another level. Stress arises. Solution is role transition. iv. Inter-role distance : occupies more than one role than the Prof.MADHVI 83 conflicts arise. Solution : role MISHRA,AIeMS negotiation

2. ROLE SET CONFLICTS: The role set conflict consists, of important persons who have varying expectations from the role that an individual occupies. The conflicts which arise as a result of incompatibility among these expectations by the significant others (& by the individual himself) are referred to as role set conflicts. These conflicts take the forms mentioned below: i. Role ambiguity: When an individual is not clear about the various expectations that people have from his role, he faces role ambiguity. Its due to lack of information available to a role occupant, or his lack of understanding of the cues available to him.

ii. Role Overload:
