Abstract

Regardless of the prevalence of change, getting employees on board is hard to achieve. While the investigation of leadership and change readiness has been done continuously, the examination of staff involvement in change and working culture, particularly of the non-western world, has been less appreciated. This article addresses this gap by analysing the connection between employee buy-in, trust, relationship, and task-oriented culture. The main data was gathered from 214 respondents. They are employees at a higher education institution in Cambodia and have experienced a technology-driven change recently. The structural equation model reveals significant relationships between trust and working relationship as well as task-oriented culture, highlighting the pivotal role of these cultural attributes in fostering trust and facilitating buy-in for change. The findings contribute to Social Exchange Theory by showcasing the reciprocal exchange between the employee relationship and support in organizational changes and portray a missing trust among Cambodian employees. Recommendations were drawn from the findings for the betterment of change practices by the managers and practitioners.
考察员工对组织变革的认同:结构方程模型
无论变革多么普遍,让员工参与进来都很难实现。虽然对领导力和变革准备情况的调查一直在进行,但对员工参与变革和工作文化的研究,尤其是对非西方世界的研究,却较少受到重视。本文通过分析员工认同、信任、关系和任务导向型文化之间的联系,弥补了这一不足。主要数据来自 214 名受访者。他们是柬埔寨一所高等教育机构的员工,最近经历了一场技术驱动的变革。结构方程模型揭示了信任、工作关系和任务导向文化之间的显著关系,突出了这些文化属性在促进信任和推动变革买入方面的关键作用。研究结果展示了员工关系与组织变革支持之间的互惠交换,描绘了柬埔寨员工之间缺失的信任,从而为社会交换理论做出了贡献。研究结果还为管理人员和从业人员更好地开展变革实践提出了建议。
