Empowerment, Predisposition to Resist Change, and Support for Organizational Change

Abstract

This article investigates the extent to which empowerment and dispositional characteristics contribute to behavioral support for organizational change.The study is the first to use a comprehensive intrapersonal variable—psychological empowerment— to represent the interaction between an individual and his or her work environment. Furthermore, by examining the influence of predisposition to resist change, the study contributes to the understanding that change content, change process, change context, and individual differences all contribute differentially to organizational change. Results from data collected from part-time MBA students as well as employees of a nonprofit organization confirmed two hypothesized predictions.
