Managing Organizational Change Through Trainings Within Romanian Companies

This paper aims to research among Romanian companies on how theories of evolutionary psychology, new discoveries in the field of cognitive sciences together with pre-change or during change training can predict and influence the behaviour of human beings but also the behaviour of organizations when they meet change management projects to lead them to a successful implementation. It is well known that most organizations that opt for change management face various challenges during this very expensive process but also the fact that mechanisms of human brain have developed over thousands of years and the speed with which they have evolved is lower than how fast current technologies are developing to create a competitive business environment across the planet. This paper examines how organizations can be focused through theories of evolutionary psychology to support organizational change, whether training employees before or during organizational change is favorable in reducing resistance to change, and whether effective communication aims to improve employee confidence in perceived justice through neuroscience will lead to the successful implementation of change. A quantitative research approach was carried out by using a descriptive and exploratory questionnaire including 44 questions, collecting data from 212 participants, who activate in companies from Romania that have gone through organizational change projects, distributed to subjects through an online platform. In conclusion, this paper offers a new perspective from which to approach organizational change projects, bringing to the fore various key points.
