Dear Kevin Platt

You can look into the articles that covered relationship between 'Self-efficacy and/or  Change Management'. I have attached the link of three articles you may find beneficial.

a. The Role of Self-Efficacy in Achieving Health Behavior Change

b. Cultivate Self - efficacy for Personal and Organizational Effectiveness

c. Self Efficacy: Implications for Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management

Link [http://www.wku.edu/cebs/doctorate/documents/readings/gist_1987_self-efficacy_implications.pdf]

Hope you will find these articles helpful.

I agree with Thawhidul that you want to look into self-efficacy. I would also encourage you to look at research linking self-efficacy and training in order to find solutions to the problems associated with a loss of self-efficacy.

Hi Thawhidul, David and Krishnan,

Thank you for the detailed response, it is greatly appreciated, Kevin

There are other bodies of literature that examine the emotional dynamics and effects that you are looking at, from a more psycho-dynamic perspective such as Manfred Kets de Vries, work done at the Tavistock Institute, and the emotional labour literature plus the following:

Diamond, M. (1993) The Unconscious Life of Organizations: Interpreting Organizational Reality, Westport: Quorum.

Gabriel, Y. (1999) Organizations in Depth, London: Sage.

Gould, L., Stapely, L.F., and Stein, M. (eds) (2001) The Systems Psychodynamics of

Organizations, New York: Karnac.

J. Thomas and M. Hersen (eds) Psychopathology in the Workplace: Recognition and Adaptation, New York: Brunner-Routledge.

J. Kahn and A. Langlieb (eds) Mental Health and Productivity in the Workplace: A Handbook for Organizations and Clinicians, San Francisco: Jossey-Bass.

Hi Eugenie,

Thank you for taking the time to respond, I will have a look into your suggestions, Kevin

Kets de Vries I find particularly enjoyable reading

You may also find the work of Kegan and Lahey on Overcoming Immunity to Change useful. They provide a process for surfacing underlying worries and assumptions that cause the individual to remain captive and immobilized.
