Managing change, leadership style, and intolerance to ambiguity: A survey of organization development practitioners
基于357名人力资源与组织发展从业者的调查,发现他们普遍了解组织变革管理,且更倾向于变革型而非交易型领导风格。
Abstract In today's business environment, human resource development (HRD) and organization development (OD) practitioners need to be experts at helping executives and managers deal with organizational change. This article presents survey research findings, based on responses from 357 HRD/OD practitioners, related to this critical area of expertise. The authors first describe the results of their research, and then conclude with implications of these results for HR and related professionals. Overall, HRD/OD practitioners were found to be quite knowledgeable about managing organizational change, and were more likely to describe their work style as transformational rather than transactional. © 1993 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
