Significance of Employee Participation in the Change Composition
An important ingredient of successful change management is employee participation. In fact, change initiatives where employees at all levels of the organisation are involved are more likely to be successful compared to those where employees are only expected to follow orders and instructions (Pihlak & Alas, 2012).

The philosophical orientation that mirrors my worldview is the interpretivist research paradigm. In-depth inquiry is enabled by interpretivist research, which sees knowledge as subjective (Bryman, 2008).

To ensure in-depth inquiry, interpretivist research focuses on a small sample and employs qualitative techniques such as in-depth interviews, focus groups, and observations. Such techniques enable the researcher to cultivate a closer relationship with the subjects… Continue Reading...
