Cross-Disciplinary Approaches to Organizational Change Readiness

Abstract

This systematic literature review examines the evolution and current state of research on organizational change readiness through the lens of cross-disciplinary approaches. The combination of insights from various fields has greatly enhanced our understanding of how organizations and individuals prepare for and respond to change. Through a comprehensive analysis, this review identifies key cross-disciplinary intersections that have shaped change readiness research, focusing on integrating organizational psychology and management theory. Organizations that adopt cross-disciplinary approaches to change readiness achieve more successful outcomes in change initiatives. The review highlights significant research gaps, including the need for more sophisticated measurement tools, greater attention to contextual factors, and more diverse methodological approaches. Future research should focus on developing integrated theoretical models, assessing digital transformation readiness from cross-disciplinary perspectives, and examining cultural and global viewpoints on change readiness.
