A Process Model of Organizational Change in Cultural Context (OC3 Model)

The Impact of Organizational Culture on Leading Change

Gail F. Latta

University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Change resides at the heart of leadership. Organizational culture is one of many situational variables that have emerged as pivotal in determining the success of leaders' efforts to implement change initiatives. This article introduces a process model of organizational change in cultural context (OC3 Model) derived from ethnographic analysis. The model delineates the differential impact of organizational culture at every stage of change implementation. Eight stages of cultural influence are identified and illustrated. Research propositions are stated to encourage refinement of the model. Theoretical and practical implications for leadership are explored; applications for resolving organizational immunity to change are discussed.

Key Words: organizational culture • organizational change • leadership theory • sensemaking • process model • ethnography
