An Affect-Based Model of Recipients’ Responses to Organizational Change Events
提出一个情感模型，解释组织变革中接受者如何通过评估过程产生不同情感和行为反应，并分析变革情境与过程变量对反应的影响，对管理者和研究者有参考价值。
Following a long period during which scholarly attention was paid predominantly to the role of change agents in organizational change, change recipients and their experiences have finally begun to take center stage. Yet the typical view of recipients has been as passive reactors to change. In this article we take steps toward highlighting the central, active roles change recipients play in organizational change events. We discuss and distinguish between dimensions of valence and activation and introduce a circumplex of recipients’ affective and behavioral responses to change events. We describe the primary and secondary appraisal processes through which each response type emerges and discuss outcomes of each response type. We use our model to explain how change context and process variables affect recipients’ responses to change. Finally, we discuss implications of our model for theory, research, and practice.
