THOMPSON  \nThe University of the West Indies  \nABSTRACT  \nThis study explores behaviors which teachers perceive would be effective when leaders are undertaking organizational change. A sample of one hundred teachers drawn from all levels of the education system in Jamaica was used. The data were collected using a Likert-type instrument that was designed by the researcher and was tested for reliability using Cronbach’s Alpha. The study found two categories of leadership conduct, and ten specific strategies which teachers considered tobe effective tools in effecting organizational change efforts. This study also found that the forces for change are largely internal and deeply personal. The findings ofthe study suggest that change at the organizational level requires, and depends upon, change atthe level of the individual employee and the quality of the engagements and interactions atthe interpersonal level. If organizations are tobe successful in effecting organizational change they must first succeed at effecting behavior change at the individual level. The study has major planning implications. Planning for improvements in the performance ofschools is a change management undertaking, especially for schools which are underperforming. This study also provides clues for leaders concerning the kinds of leadership approaches and behaviors which motivate and sustain support for change.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nEffecting and/or confronting change is one of the most present and potent reality that faces organizations. Changes ranging from down-sizing to mergers and inclusive of relocations, restructuring, technological changes, process-oriented and people-oriented changes are all parts of the tapestry of life in organizations (Scandura & Sharif, 2011) . The issue, therefore, that faces organizations is not whether to change but how effectively to carry out or meet the change. Some forms of change may be effected by humans with replacing machines and new technologies; other forms of change require that humans adapt to new environments as well as become agents of the change effort. In this regard, stimulating support for change is a major task of those who must lead change efforts.  \nGiven the highly competitive environment in which businesses, including educational institutions, operate, it is becoming increasingly important for organizations to gain competitive advantage by being able to manage and survive change (Amagoh, 2008) . Change efforts evoke feelings and responses of resistance, anxiety, fear, hostility, uncertainty, opposition, and doubt. Many change efforts often failed not because the path to change orthe reason for change was bad but because the strategies and approaches used to effect the change were flawed. Given the inevitability of change, organizations that will succeed, and have succeeded are those that have implemented change strategies that work.  \nSome organizations and industries in Jamaica have enjoyed tariff protection or guaranteed rates of return by way of government policy. Presently, all or most of those protections and privileges have been removed and competition is the standard for just about every type of organization. These formerly protected and/or taxpayer funded organizations must now undertake change. This  \nEducational Planning 13 Vol. 26, No. 2  \nstudy examines teacher perceived strategies that educational organizations may consider using in undertaking change efforts in Jamaica.  \nSTATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM  \nChanging employee behaviours is necessary to align everyone in the organization with the strategic direction of the organization, as Bradford (2001) has suggested. This alignment of behaviour isone of the most important things the leadership of an organization can do beyond formulating and implementing great strategies. One of the major reasons strategic efforts fail is due to lack of sufficient engagement, as ","cbCainJVvtuBG9Ml","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainJVvtuBG9Ml","pdf",266397,16,"English","# Introduction\n# Statement of the Problem\n# Research Questions\n# Literature Review","[{\"question\":\"What is the study’s main focus regarding organizational change?\",\"answer\":\"The study examines teachers’ perspectives on which leadership behaviors and organizational change strategies are perceived as effective in stimulating support for change efforts.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the data collected and validated?\",\"answer\":\"Data were collected from one hundred teachers using a Likert-type instrument designed by the researcher, and reliability was tested using Cronbach’s Alpha.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the study suggest about where change must begin?\",\"answer\":\"Successful organizational change depends on changing employee behavior at the individual level, supported by quality engagements and interactions at the interpersonal level.\"}]","EXPLORING TEACHERS’ PERSPECTIVES ON EFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE STRATEGIES - Research study | PDF",1792095121]
