dc.description.abstractDet er nylig etterlyst et skifte i endringslitteraturen mot å fokusere mer på positive og motiverende aspekter i konteksten av organisatorisk endring. Denne oppgaven undersøker forholdet mellom jobbkarakteristikken rollekonflikt, kvantitative krav, endringsledelse og psykologisk trygghet, og jobbengasjement innenfor en endringskontekst. I tillegg, for å få en bedre forståelse av mekanismene i forholdet mellom endringsledelse og jobbengasjement, undersøkes den medierende effekten av psykologisk trygghet på dette forholdet. Tverrsnittsdata fra 1168 ansatte i et norsk selskap, som undergikk endring på målingstidspunktet, analyseres med PLS-SEM. Resultatene viser at psykologisk trygghet er sterkest assosiert med jobbengasjement, etterfulgt av endringsledelse og rollekonflikt, mens kvantitative krav er ubetydelig. I tillegg viser resultatene en signifikant delvis medieringseffekt. For å undersøke forskningsspørsmålet og hypotesene anvendes Conservation of Resources (COR) teorien, Jobbkrav-ressurs (JD-R) modellen, Hindring-utfordring-rammeverket, samt litteraturen på psykologisk trygghet og ledelse i endring. Oppgaven svarer på oppfordringen om å kombinere litteraturen på jobbengasjement og endring. Den gjenintroduserer og diskuterer rollen til psykologisk trygghet og ledelse i endringssammenheng og i forhold til jobbengasjement. Oppgaven bidrar til å fylle hull i forskningslitteraturen og sammenkobler litteraturen på endring, jobbengasjement, ledelse og psykologisk trygghet. Dette gir videre flere implikasjoner for teori, fremtidig forskning og praksis, som blir diskutert. Nøkkelord: Jobbengasjement, endring, endringsledelse, psykologisk trygghet, PLS-SEM, mediering, JD-R modellen, COR teori, Hindring-Utfordring-rammeverket
dc.description.abstractThere is a recent call for a shift in the change literature towards focusing more on positive and motivational aspects in the context of organisational change. This thesis investigates the relationship between the job characteristics role conflict, quantitative demands, change leadership, and psychological safety, and work engagement within the context of change. In addition, to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms in the relationship between change leadership and work engagement, the mediating effect of psychological safety on this is investigated. Cross-sectional data of 1168 employees from a Norwegian company undergoing change at the time of measurement is analysed using PLS-SEM. The results show that psychological safety is most strongly associated with work engagement, followed by change leadership and role conflict, whilst quantitative demands are insignificant. In addition, the results show a significant partial mediation effect. To investigate the research question and hypotheses the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, the Challenge-Hindrance framework, as well as the literature on psychological safety and leadership in change are applied. The thesis answers the call for combining the literature on work engagement and change. It reintroduces and discusses the role of psychological safety and leadership in the context of change and in relation to work engagement. The thesis addresses gaps in the research literature, and connects the literature on change, work engagement, leadership, and psychological safety. In turn, this provides several implications for theory, future research, and practice, which are discussed. Keywords: Work engagement, change, change leadership, psychological safety, PLS-SEM, mediation, JD-R model, COR theory, Challenge-Hindrance framework
