METHODOLOGY
LITERATURE REVIEW:
The authors first analyze existing research on
the impact of values on organizational change,
showing how alignment can enhance success
and misalignment can lead to failure.
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK:
They then introduce Graves' Emergent
Cyclical Levels of Existence Theory
(ECLET), which posits that individuals and
systems progress through eight levels of
value systems with distinct characteristics.

CASE STUDIES
• Case 1: A successful implementation of a new performance management system
aligned with employee values of collaboration and personal growth.
• Case 2: A failed attempt to introduce a new technology system clashed with
employee values of stability and tradition.
 CASE 1

01 Employees embraced the new performance system

because it resonated with their desire for collaboration and
individual development.

FINDINGS CASE 2

02 Resistance to the new technology stemmed from its

perceived threat to existing routines and employee
autonomy, conflicting with their values of stability and
tradition.
 MAIN ARGUMENT
The article explores the idea that a key reason for the high failure rate of
organizational change initiatives (estimated at 70%) is the lack of alignment between
the values of the change intervention and the values of the individuals within the
organization.
