Measures that can be taken to minimise
the negative impacts of change on organisational behaviour.
In an organisation, the organisational behaviour is one of the concept of people
behaviour. It is reflected in the performance of each individual. In addition to this, the behaviour
in organisation includes communication, job structure, motivation and many others. Leaders and
managers are appointed to increase the workforce of employees with the best of ability so that

and create alterations, then it can survive in cut throat competition without missing a major. For
minimising the negative effect of change and evaluation, two models which have been
mentioned below are going to be taken into the consideration for the effective achievement and
success of the Blake Logitech Management:
3

Lewin's force field model: The framework is give by Kurt Lewin on the basis of
reviewing the impact of change on the behaviour of organisation. On the basis of this model, the
division has been created between the changes which needs to be bring and forcing the
limitations. In addition to this, an equation has been provided in order to update their
departmental work. It also includes some basic and common perception of external and internal
factors which are directly or indirectly impact the organisation. In understanding the change, it is
evident that employees resisted change at initial level which causes problem.
The model can be helpful in minimising the negative impact of change on an
organisational behaviour on the basis of identify the forces against the specific situations. By
listing the internal and external factors, the model is somehow beneficial in eliminating those
arena which are negatively impacted the positive outcome so that there will be a great possibility
to increase the decision making process and also to increase the chances of success.
Nudge theory: The theory is examined and had been propounded by Richard H. Thaler
and Cass R. Sunstein. Also, this theory has been creating the inspiring individuals to adapt the
changes. The theory is beneficial in enabling the person to understand the changes in the
business process and different activities. It helps in deciding the organisation to completely
eliminate or except at certain level in an positive and appropriate terms. It is about providing
direction to employees to influence preferences.
This theory can easily helps the employees to have a great control over the behaviour of
employees. The purpose of nudge theory is to have a positive reinforcement and the indirect
suggestions so that there will be great influence of the behaviour and decision making process
amongst the employees.
Understanding of the leadership change includes nudge theory and Lewin's force field
model at certain period in the organisation to achieve growth and success. Nudge theory accept
changes and helps in encouraging the employees to achieve more. And Lewin’s force field
analysis create awareness and differentiated the restrictive forces with the internal and external
drivers. Employees are taken into consideration while making decisions for reducing effect of
change.
Leadership: It has been suggested that the change management system is never easy. A
good leadership quality can easily helps the organisation to address such responsibilities which
are required to achieve goals and success. It has been also understood for any organisation that

wrong decision and poor productivity leads to the negative impact. Also, negative impact can be
possibly reduce if there are good input of the leaders. There must be well maintained and
systematic structure of the organisation that can be planned by leaders so that there must be
always great success and growth in the economy (O'Neill Jr and Nalbandian, 2018).
Setting the realistic timelines: This is one of the great approach which suggest that resources
and workloads can be managed by setting the realistic timelines. Realistic timelines always gives
a brief and planned structure to the employees so that they will get the rough idea about what
will going to take place next.
Clear vision to the employees: This point reflect a segment and ethical values for every
individual person. There is a need to have a clear vision to each and every employee so that they
understand about what they will going to achieve and what consequences they will be going to
face (Ayman and Lauritsen, 2018). It also includes a great communication strategy between and
and every person so that there must be great possibility to achieve success. Update the work to
the employees on regular basis and using the effective tools can be a great achievement for the
company to grow outstandingly.

specific change. A change in an organisation leaders to poor staffing because employee cannot
be able to deprive the change that can be possibly taken.
Unknown current state: There is a need to have incorporate jobs because knowledge and skills
are quiet important for the changes in structure and modification. This may take time which
cannot be awarded by organisation to invest into. Therefore, without any analysis there are
corporate scan which needs to proceed with making enough changes. This may cause major issue
which makes force the decisions to fail.
