Systems Model of Change
While planning a change, care is necessary to have organizational coverage.
According to the systems model of change, the organization can be described as six interacting variables which could serve the focus of planned change-– people, culture task, technology, design and strategy. Figure 19-1 depicts them as system variables – interrelated components.
1. The people variable is applicable to individuals working for the organization; it is inclusive of their individual differences like their personality, attitudes, perceptions, attributions, needs and motives.
2. The culture variable is a reflection of their
shared beliefs, values, expectations and norms of organizational members
3. The task variable refers to the nature of the work itself i.e., whether the job is simple or complex, novel or repetitive, standardized or unique.
4. The technology variable involves the problem solving methods and techniques used and the application of knowledge to the various organizational processes (ie., the task and technology in job design.)
5. The design variable refers to the organizational design in terms of the formal organizational structure, its systems of communication, control, authority and responsibility.
6. The strategy variable refers to the organization’s planning and decision making process with specific reference to the activities undertaken to identify organizational goals and prepare specific plans to acquire, and sue resources in order to accomplish those goals.
