Determinants of the institutionalization of planned organizational change

Article Abstract:

A survey examining how well a new performance appraisal system was institutionalized or assimilated into the established work culture is discussed. The survey sample consisted of 477 county government employees, and results reveal that the new evaluation system received a moderate degree of assimilation through out the county government. There were significant differences between departments, however. Results also show that the new system's impact on employee performance was considered to be less than moderate.
