The study of Effective and Efficient Organizational Change Processes with an Emphasis on Islamic Management by Fazel Hajizadeh Ebrahimi, Hamid Moakedi

“…Managers can evaluate the quality of communication with employees of the organization by receiving feedback (understanding the value of communication between the leader and people).The feeling of need for change should be aroused in the existence of each and every person of the organization. For this purpose, methods such as audio-visual training or holding individual or group meetings can be used (principle of the need for change).The manager should talk to the critics and potential opponents of the change and attract their positive opinion by applying incentive policies (understanding the value of negotiating with the critics).Managers should involve the employees who resist the change in the change plan and give them spiritual and emotional support so that they stop resisting the change (understanding the value of participation and respect).Since changing is a voluntary and conscious process, in order to speed up its implementation, one should trust subordinates and give them authority (understanding the value of trust).The change program must have a divine intention and motivation so that it can be implemented and promoted by the spiritual support of God Almighty.Organizational change and transformation program will not succeed without a monitoring system. …”
