W6 Literature Synthesis
\nCite each paragraph.
\nMin six references.<\/p>\n
You need to look at trying to synthesize thoughts, trying to bring different thoughts together into one. The thought comes together and leads to the new thought that you would want to conclude with.
\nHistorically, the organisational change and crisis literature assumed that employees assessed change and crisis and reacted definitively to it by accepting or rejecting it. However, it has become increasingly clear that most employees do not react as definitively as was once assumed. Instead, organisational change can be met with confusion, uncertainty and ambivalence. Given the potentially disastrous impact that silent resistance can have on change, scholars are increasingly focussed on ensuring that employees voice their opinions during change.
\nGiven this week\u2019s required readings and your further research, complete a 750-1,000 word Literature Synthesis by Saturday that:
\n\u2022 Critically evaluates key arguments from both a scholarly and a practitioner-oriented point of view;
\n\u2022 Critiques underlying assumptions evident in the articles and identifies any new insights for practice and scholarship;
\n\u2022 Extends the thinking and application of your review with additional resources and experiential analyses.
\nYour Literature Synthesis will be brought to the Learning Set for further consideration to inform the problematising of the workplace-based problem you have chosen for this module\u2019s CAL Project.
