ORG/716: Organizational Theory and Design
Introduction
03:10:32 GMT -05:00 Organizational change refers to the measures a company takes to modify a significant component, including culture, internal procedures, underlying technology, and infrastructure (Errida & Lotfi, 2021). The Burke-Litwin Change Model was published in 1992 by two change
management professionals named Warner Burke and George Litwin and is based on open- systems thinking to provide an understanding of the dynamics of organizational change (Pershing & Austin, 2014). The model illustrates how varying elements, both transactional and transformational, play a crucial role in an organization's performance and adaptability. Martins and Coetzee (2019) explained that the model identifies three core change levels: transformational, transactional, and organizational twelve change elements.
Reflection of a systems thinking approach
The Burke-Litwin model reveals the multi-faceted dynamics of organizational change, underscoring the significance of leadership, management practices, work climate, organizational
structure, and systems and policies (Martins & Coetzee, 2019), a connection which notes its similarities to a systems thinking approach. Systems thinking is a holistic approach to understanding organizations that emphasizes the interconnectedness of all parts of the system rather than the individual parts themselves (Pershing & Austin, 2014). Errida and Lotfi (2021 noted that effective leadership, rooted in strategic vision and mission, directly shapes management practices and the overall work climate, emphasizing the interrelation of these elements. Leadership plays an essential role in shaping an organization's trajectory, fostering a culture and climate that either stimulates or stifles growth (Pershing & Austin, 2014). Therefore,
Leadership is an essential factor in organizational change because it determines the organization's vision and direction and inspires and develops trust and collaboration.
