Title:
” Want to, need to, ought to: employee commitment to organizational
change”
Purpose :
This study aims to focus on the role of employee commitment in the success
of organizational change initiatives. The authors seek to propose and test
a model that delineates antecedents and consequences of affective,
normative, and continuance commitment to organizational change.
Finding :
The results demonstrate that the antecedents: fit with vision, employee
manager relationship quality, job motivation, and role autonomy all
influence commitment to change (C2C). Notably, affective commitment,
which in turn influences employee perceptions about improved
performance, implementation success, and individual learning regarding
the change, had the greatest impact.

“The functions of methods of change in management consulting”
Purpose :
Detailed methods and tools for bringing about change are widespread in both
the management literature (see e.g. Werr, 1995) and consultants’ practice.
The legitimacy of methods and tools is generally based on a belief in the
effectiveness of their direct application in the change process. However,
there also exists a belief, not least among consultants, that it is the
consultant’s personal skills and experiences, rather than the methods per
se, that provide value in the consulting process.
Finding :
this article tries to understand the popularity of methods and tools by
identifying the content and function of methods and tools for business
process re-engineering (BPR). We conclude that methods and tools have a
number of functions in both the consulting organization and the change
process.
