Abstract:
This article shows the theoretical framework for understanding organizational dynamics and development - the change theory and employees relationships within contemporary organizations. The emphasis is on power strategies and the relationship to organizational dynamics and development. The integrative process broadens the understanding of patterns of organizational dynamics and development and enhances the understanding of factors that influence employees’ perceptions of well-being and their performance in the workplace.
Successful adaptation to changing conditions in the workplace requires intact intrinsic motivation, self-actualization, coping strategies, persistence, and commitment. Commitment refers to cognitive choices, values, goals, motivation, and persistence. Fundamentally, innovative leaders should operate as role models for other employee subsystems throughout the organization change. Showing and being a positive role model enhance goal-seeking attitudes of colleagues, team members, and network members. This in turn can create a dynamic environment in which employees can function creatively and positively.
