Abstract
ABSTRACT The current review overview attempts to create order in the overall fragmented scenario regarding output on organizational change management. Grounded on 39 selected reviews out of 113 identified, the manuscript creates a theoretical summary of knowledge and allows change determinants to emerge. Whereas the existing literature refers to a theory or an implementation model and then introduces the analysis of several patchy variables, the proposed organizational change taxonomy refines well-established models by introducing the study of nine thematic groups containing a total of 41 variables. The strategic and behavioral change variables are classified according to the role (antecedent, moderator, mediator, outcome), the direction (positive, negative) and level (micro, meso, macro) of the change phenomenon. This summary clarifying change characteristics and intrinsic complexity suggests directions for future empirical studies and practical tools for managers to design organizational change management architecture with implementation success. MAD statement Since research on change management proceeds at a dizzying pace, it is useful to periodically take stock of the situation on the state of the art. This review provides an updated overview on the current organizational change management scenario. While the manuscript presents a renewed framework, it also suggests a research agenda with new possible ways to further study the field.
