“…Consistent with their original propositions, Burger et al (2008) found that a singular application of Logo-OD did not bring about significant changes in participants' experiences of meaning. Nevertheless, these authors reported a positive relationship between the dimensions of meaning and resistance to change.…”

“…Logo-OD Burger (2007) used the term 'Logo-OD' to describe the application of logotherapy as an organisation development (OD) intervention. Burger argued that a logotherapeutic intervention could decrease change-restraining forces (resistance to change) and increase change-driving forces (readiness for change).…”

“…Avolio and Luthans (2006), as well as Luthans and Avolio (2003), used the concept of trigger events to describe critical incidents -planned or unplanned -that cause people to realise that they need specific courses of action or changes in behaviour to address particular situations. Burger (2007) argued that applying Logo-OD as positive trigger events can cause employees to find meaning during, or because of, organisational changes. Therefore, it plays a critical role in addressing the causes behind resistance to change.…”

“…These threats often result in resistance to change (Antonacopoulou & Gabriel, 2001;Frances, 1995). Burger, Crous and Roodt (2008) showed that employees' search for meaning could play a critical role in organisations' ability to manage changes. Based on the principles of logotherapy, they argued that organisations can reduce change resistance through The researchers will achieve this by presenting a brief overview of the model and its associated theoretical constructs.…”

Orientation: This article explores the role that meaning, as logotherapy conceptualises it, can play to facilitate organisational changes.Research purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore further a model an earlier paper proposed for using employees’ experiences of meaning in work contexts to facilitate changes.Motivation for the study: The researchers could not find a comprehensive model in the literature for addressing employees’ experiences of meaning in, or at, work during organisational changes. A previous paper proposed such a model, but it addressed only one component fully. This article seeks to explore this model further to address this apparent gap in the literature.Research design, approach and method: The researchers used a literature review to conduct the study. The components of the model directed this review in order to find meaning at work.Main findings: The actions of organisations, which aim to create positive organisational contexts (through practices for improving meaning at work and transcendence) and to frame changes using ‘Logo-OD’, can improve employees’ experiences of meaning during organisational changes.Practical/managerial implications: Understanding the relationship between meaning and organisational change, and applying the model this article presents, can contribute to the overall success of change initiatives.Contribution/value-add: This study’s primary contribution stems from the novel framework it presents for organisations to use the knowledge about how employees search for meaning to facilitate changes.

Bu araştırma ile Neiva, Ros ve da Paz (2005) tarafından geliştirilen Örgütsel Değişime Direç Ölçeği'nin Türkçe'ye uyarlanması amaçlanmıştır. Orijinal ölçek üzerinde çeviri, geri çeviri, dil geçerliği, pilot uygulama gibi gereklilikler yerine getirilip Türkçe formuna son şekli verildikten sonra 315 öğretmene uygulanmıştır. Veriler üzerinde yapılan doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonunda orijinal ölçeğin 28 maddelik 3 faktörlü yapısı doğrulanmış, Türkçe formun orijinal ölçek ile yapı bakımından uyumlu olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Güvenirlik kapsamında Cronbach α iç tutarlık katsayısı, iki yarıya bölme ve kararlılık için test -tekrar test yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Ölçeğin tamamı için Cronbach α değeri 0.92, Kuşkuculuk faktörü için 0.93, Endişe faktörü için 0.89, Kabullenme faktörü için 0.87 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ölçeğin her iki yarısı arasında korelasyon değeri 0.90, iki yarı güvenirliği değeri ise 0.94 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Kararlılık için yapılan test -tekrar test sonucunda her iki ölçüm arasında 0.71'lik bir korelasyon bulunmuştur. Maddelerin analizi kapsamında madde toplam korelasyonu incelenmiştir. Ayrıca %27'lik alt ve üst gruplar arasında her bir madde için Bağımsız gruplar t testi yapılarak gruplar arasında anlamlılık düzeyi incelenmiştir. Bu işlemler sonucunda Örgütsel Değişime Direnç Ölçeği'nin Türkçe formunun geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek olduğu anlaşılmıştır.
