Abstract

Departing from traditional conceptualizations of resistance to change as a systemic phenomenon, a significant and increasing body of organizational research has examined how change and resistance to change occur through individuals in strategist, agent, and recipient roles. Yet despite this perspective's rising prominence, the literature lacks an integrative framework to organize how these roles separately and interactively shape resistance to change. This review synthesizes this fragmented literature, providing a holistic perspective structured around change roles. Categorizing the literature in terms of the three roles, we organize the role combinations into levels of analysis. We use this combined framework to describe the current state of theory building and testing, which guides our identification of important future research directions. Through our analysis, we capture the nuanced dynamics of resistance to change and the need for further understanding of how differently situated individuals shape the overarching change effort.
抵制变革:揭示变革战略家、推动者和接受者的角色
与传统的将抗拒变革视为一种系统现象的观念不同,越来越多的重要组织研究机构研究了变革和抗拒变革是如何通过扮演战略家、代理人和接受者角色的个体发生的。然而,尽管这一观点日益突出,但文献缺乏一个综合框架来组织这些角色如何单独和互动地形成对变革的抵制。这篇综述综合了这些零散的文献,提供了一个围绕变革角色结构的整体视角。根据这三个角色对文献进行分类,我们将角色组合组织成分析层次。我们使用这个组合框架来描述理论构建和测试的现状,指导我们确定未来重要的研究方向。通过我们的分析,我们捕捉到了抵制变革的微妙动态,以及进一步理解不同处境的个体如何塑造总体变革努力的必要性。
