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. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
