TRACK
TOPIC
DESCRIPTION:
In the complex
global scenario,
organizations
are being called
upon to address
unprecedented
challenges that
require them to
respond
effectively to
the systemic and
economic shocks
generated by the
pandemic and the
more recent
Russian-Ukrainian
conflict without
failing to meet
the growing
expectations of
the community.
These challenges
have profoundly
disrupted the
foundations of
societies,
generating
permanent and
irreversible
changes that
have become the
focus of reforms
planned by EU
countries.
Accordingly, the
Great Reset has
marked and will
mark a point of
no return for
civil society
and
organizations,
both public and
private.
Over the past
five years,
several
crossroads and
directions for
an epoch-making
window of change
in organizations
have risen.
Nonetheless,
both after
COVID-19 and the
outbreak of war,
some of these
changes have
been found to be
ineffective and
hardly
assimilated by
organizations,
leading them to
rethink their
usefulness and
dismiss them.
This is because
any
organizational
change, if
imposed and/or
not driven by an
appropriate
organizational
culture,
structure, and
leader capable
of "managing"
the change, runs
the risk of not
producing the
desired effects
and being
harmful to the
organization.
Therefore, the
aim of this
track is to
explore the
effectiveness of
organizational
change
initiatives in
the aftermath of
crises that have
overwhelmed the
international
economic
scenario and how
such changes
have been
governed within
organizations.
To address this
issue, we invite
scholars to
stimulate
conceptual ideas,
case studies,
evaluations, and
the
state-of-the-art
on the success
or failure of
organizational
change in both
the private and
public sectors.
The track,
although not
limited to them,
welcomes
submissions in
the following
areas and topics:
- Leadership
and changes
in
organizations:
An essential
binomial
-
Organizational
Behaviors.
What
promotes or
stops change?
- Extrinsic
and
intrinsic
motivation
in
organizations:
What
motivates
workers the
most to
change?
- Bright and
Dark Sides
of Power in
Organizations:
What if
Power
Imposes or
Promotes
Change?
- Change
initiatives
in SMEs and
the Public
Sector:
Barriers and
enablers
-
Technology-driven
change in
organizations:
Are
organizations
ready for
AI?
