New Insights in the Basic Psychological Needs of Leaders Not to Fail Organizational Change: Post-Pandemic View on Leader’s Experience—A Qualitative Content Analysis
Purpose: This paper aims to uncover underlying mechanisms and basic psychological needs of leaders that will enable them to cope with organizational change in a multi-crisis context. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study uses the qualitative research approach of qualitative content analysis to ex plore leader ’ s positive and negative experiences during change in a multi-crisis context. Findings: This research highlight s the critical role of leaders ’ basic psychological needs in organizational change within a multi-crisis context, thereby illustrating the necessity of providing need-based experiences an d need-supported change designs. This study has recognized the importance of taking into consideration all four identified levels of change: personal, situational, decisional, and transitional —when implementing change initiatives, as a need-supported change design. Data indicate that, despite expressing a leader ’ s strong need for involvement and community, the need is not adequately satisfied by rituals and communitas. These results indicate the need to integrate both success factors and failure factors in a simultaneous manner to increase leader ’ s positive experiences and reduce negative experiences during change, with the aim of providing need-based experiences. Originality/Value: This paper provides new findings and theoretical description s in the understudied area of a leader ’ s basic psychological needs and emerged success and failure factors during change in a multi-crisis context.
