| Sumario: | A study was conducted to examine whether organizational change efforts in public sector organizations could be as effective as those in private organizations. Data from 47 studies were transformed by meta-analytic procedures to assess the impact of planned change on seven categories of organizational variables: organizing arrangements, social factors, technology, physical setting, individual behavior, level of organizational performance, and level of individual development of members. The results revealed that, in general, organizational change interventions are equally successful in both sectors. However, differences were found in three variable categories, suggesting that it is more difficult to implement changes in public sector work settings but that organizational performance can be improved more easily in public organizations.
