Nem toda mudança é percebida do mesmo modo: diferenças sociofuncionais na percepção de práticas de gestão da mudança organizacional

Abstract

This study investigated differences in perceptions of organizational change management practices according to sociofunctional variables (organization type, gender, and organizational tenure) among organizations in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais and the Federal District. Participants included 126 professionals from public and private organizations who completed the Organizational Change Management Practices Assessment Questionnaire (QAPGMO) and a sociodemographic and functional questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Student's t-tests. The results indicated significant differences across all sociofunctional variables investigated, with employees from private companies, women, and professionals with up to three years of organizational tenure presenting more positive perceptions of organizational change management practices. These findings highlight the need to adopt tailored change management strategies that consider employees' characteristics and organizational context to achieve greater effectiveness.
