Human resource facilitators and change project effectiveness

Abstract

This is a conceptual paper suggesting the key human resource factors that could facilitate change project effectiveness. It proposes relationships between these human resource facilitators and effectiveness of an organizational change project. Five propositions are stated for positive directions of these relationships. Based on these propositions, a conceptual framework is suggested. Training and development, change agent capabilities, communication, participation and employee responsiveness to change are proposed to play important roles in change project effectiveness. This framework is expected to apply for change management in private enterprises in Vietnam.
