6 important questions on Interventions: social dimension - Book - The social dimension - Integration goal

What is the aim of the third goal of the social dimension: integration? And how is this related to Schein?

The aim of integration is to integrate new interaction premises and interactions into a behavioral repertoire. This is related to the refreeze stage of Schein regarding two elements:
1. Institutionalization of the new work regime
2. Further refinement and reinforcement of this work regime.

What are the two subgoals related to the third goal of the social dimension: integration?

The two subgoals related to integration are:
1. Exercise; this is referred to the doing and training for integration and acceptation. While doing it, they learn more about it. They should acquire task-related knowledge and develop this knowledge as well. However, training does not necessarily need doing, it can also precedes doing, or follow doing.
2. Reinforce/adjustment; this is referred to the continuous structural development.

What is the difference between integration and organic adaption?

Integration --> Making new structure into an organization reality
Organic adoption --> Presuppose that this new structure is already in place.

What are the drivers of the subgoals of integration: exercise and reinforcement /adjustment?

Drivers for both exercise and reinforcement/adjustment are:
Cognitive:

1. Personal fit; the new point of view needs to fit comfortably in a person's self-concept and personality. This is about that organizational members experience their new job better fits their goals and aspirations than their old job.
2. Relational fit; regards legitimacy; that organizational members see relevant others consider their job as an improvement.

Emotional:
Return of hope; feeling that societal contribution can be delivered again.

What are the four following 'moments' that together realize personal and relational fit?

1. Willingly accept new structure-related interaction premises and interactions
2. Acquire knowledge and develop skills
3. Accommodate new and old interaction premises and interactions, knowledge and skills into a coherent repertoire for adequate task performance.
4. Adjust repertoires so that they can perform tasks in a way that is accepted as adequate in the organization.

What is the relation between implementation and evaluation and the subgoal of the social dimension: integration?

Implementation makes sure that the current HVP is transformed into a desired LVP. This acquires IP and I to change, which is related to integration.

Evaluation in which members can participate give the opportunity to reflect on the success of the EI, and thereby improve the working situation. This awareness can support the personal and relational fit.

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
