Summary

This paper is based on research conducted by the Center for Creative Leadership and Oklahoma State University to develop a measure of employees’ reactions to the entirety of their changing work environment. This measure provides positive, neutral, and negative cumulative change scores that show differential relationships with employees’ reactions to change and workplace attitudes. Results of qualitative and quantitative data from four samples used to develop and validate this measure are shared.
