“…in addition to the role of the 'tragic triad' of suffering, guilt and an awareness of the transitoriness of human existence (Frankl, 1984(Frankl, , 2000a, Frankl attributes these existential conditions to the "crumbling" of "traditional cornerstones" such as the family, church, school and state (Fabry, 1987, p. 96) and the variety of value orientations in contemporary societies (Das, 1998), both of which constrain the finding of meaning. symptoms of these states include boredom, apathy (Das, 1998;Frankl, 1984) and various psychopathologies (Moomal, 1999). if prolonged, this may result in 'noögenic neurosis' -a frustration of the fundamental human need for meaning in life (Das, 1998;shantall, 1989).…”

AbstrActthe study investigated the relationship between "resistance to or readiness for change" (ror-change) and "meaning seeking", and whether a logotherapy-based intervention -Logo-OD -would impact on resistance to change. a quasi-experimental design and various statistical procedures were applied to test formulated hypotheses. of a survey population of 1 637 individuals, 193 and 76 respondents formed part of the pre-and post-test samples respectively. Whereas a significant relationship was established between said constructs, no significant effect of Logo-OD was observed. These results supported the primary conclusions emanating from the literature: the role of logo-oD is one of a positive trigger event for organisational change.

Orientation: This article, the final in a series of three papers, locates organisational change, specifically within the context of individuals' experience of 'meaning', as conceptualised in Viktor Frankl's logotherapy. Research purpose:The purpose of this theoretical paper is to investigate the context of meaning in organisational change by exploring the relationship between meaning and change.Motivation for the study: Although literature on change management is available in abundance, very little research has been focussed on the micro-level issues pertaining to organisational change, and virtually no research relating to the 'existential meaning' context of such change could be found.Research design, approach and method: The study was conducted by means of a review of literature, guided by the theoretical perspectives of logotherapy.
