Abstract :
In today’s dynamic and complex business
landscape, organizations must adapt and alter their
operations to remain competitive and ensure survival.
Consequently, effective organizational change is crucial.
However, the implementation of such changes comes with
associated risks and costs. Many companies encounter
challenges during the change process, often falling short
of their objectives; studies indicate that 60-70% of change
initiatives may not meet management’s expectations. This
study explores the challenge of effective change, focusing
on leadership and employee strategies for achieving
successful transformation. It also examines how leaders
and employees can manage organizational change amidst
resistance. It seeks to identify the key success factors and
obstacles encountered during implementation. Drawing
from the findings of the reviewed research literature, the
study's conceptual framework presents a pathway to
address the business problem. This framework is built
upon four critical factors in the organizational change
process: the necessity for change, effective change
leadership, successful implementation, and resistance to
change. It offers both practical and theoretical insights
applicable to real-world business challenges. Overall,
literature reviews reinforce that successful organizational
change hinges on a leader's ability to foster two essential
determinants of their management competencies: the
organization's readiness for change and stakeholders'
openness to it. At the theoretical level, this project has the
potential to significantly advance the field of change
management within organizations, providing
practitioners with valuable insights into both the
determinants of change success and the barriers that
impede it.
