Abstract

As an expected result of cognitive differences of employees, organizational change is a phenomenon that cannot be defined within precise boundaries since it involves the abstract and concrete constituents. The existing classifications and models in the literature are often k nown to represent several businesses and t o be generalizable. Contrary to this generalist view of the modern approach, questioning the power of representation of generalizable models, the postmodern approach suggests that reality is multilayered. From this perspective, this study examines how organizational change can be evaluated and interpreted via postmodern epistemology, and accordingly suggests a different perspective on organizational change studies

Özet

Örgütsel değişim, çalışanların bilişsel süreçlerindeki farklılıkların doğal bir sonucu olarak, keskin sınırlarla tanımlanamayan, soyut ve somut unsurları yapısında barındıran bir fenomendir. Yazındaki mevcut sınıflandırmaların ve modellerin, çoğunlukla farklı işletmeleri temsil edebilir ve genellenebilir özellikte kurgulandığı bilinmektedir. Modern yaklaşımın bu genellemeci bakış açısına karşıt olarak, postmodern yaklaşım genellenebilir modellerin temsil gücünü sorgulayarak, gerçekliğin çoklu olduğunu önermektedir. Bu bakış açısıyla, postmodern epistemolojiden faydalanarak, örgütsel değişimin ne şekilde incelenebileceği ve yorumlanabileceğine yönelik öneriler getiren bu çalışma, genel anlamıyla yazındaki örgütsel değişim çalışmalarına farklı bir bakış açısı sunmaktadır
