Empowerment and Successful Management of an Organizational Change The Case of a Bank Acquisition

Empowerment and Successful Management of an Organizational Change The Case of a Bank Acquisition The motivational benefits of employee empowerment in facilitating organizational change and promoting organizational effectiveness are widely recognized. But often it is not appropriate for an organization to utilize a participative, collaborative, or consultative changemanagement strategy. We examined the effects of a small empowerment during the radical and directivelymanaged transformation of 52 recentlyacquired branches of a large regional bank. Our findings indicate that even when used in conjunction with an autocratic changemanagement strategy, significant benefits can be derived from seemingly minor opportunities for employee empowerment. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Management Research News Emerald Publishing

Abstract

The motivational benefits of employee empowerment in facilitating organizational change and promoting organizational effectiveness are widely recognized. But often it is not appropriate for an organization to utilize a participative, collaborative, or consultative changemanagement strategy. We examined the effects of a small empowerment during the radical and directivelymanaged transformation of 52 recentlyacquired branches of a large regional bank. Our findings indicate that even when used in conjunction with an autocratic changemanagement strategy, significant benefits can be derived from seemingly minor opportunities for employee empowerment.
