Unit 4: Research Analysis Due: Sep 9, 2018 at 10:59 PMIntroduction
Each chapter contains a Research Analysis assignment based on some of the theory presented in that chapter. One of your assignments each unit (1 through 8) will be to review related research as directed and write an interpretation of your results. After completing your write up, please submit it by 11:59 p.m. Sunday CT.
Directions
Using the cited research from the textbook as a starting point, you are to find a current (as recent as possible) related journal article, preferably on the same topic. You should then read the current article and compare its’ results and findings to those summarized in the text. After determining whether the results and findings are the same or different from those cited in the textbook, you then need to explain what those similarities or differences mean, in plain English.
All cited material must include both internal citations and a complete reference list at the end of the paper. A cover sheet should minimally indicate the name of the Research Report, the name of the course, the student's name and the date.
Article Specific Directions
Chapter 9, Research Report 9.1 – Collective leadership and strategic change in healthcare organizations
The Denis, Lamothe, and Langley (2001) article is not that recent, so it depends on how much work has been done on collective leadership as to whether can find anything more recent than this article. This is not important. The point of the exercise is to find another article dealing with leadership and strategic change in healthcare organizations. If that is not possible, find another article dealing with leadership and strategic change.
To that end it may be helpful to:
Use the library databases to search on “leadership” and “strategic change model” and “health care” or “healthcare” to find related articles.
Use Research report 9.1 to generate search terms, as previously suggested. The methods and research process sections have useful phrases that can be used for a literature search.
You do not want to merely summarize the article. You want to indicate whether the article you found is consistent or inconsistent with the Denis,Lamothe and Langley (2001) findings. Then you want to discuss what these results, as a whole (both articles together), mean to leaders and managers in terms of being able to plan and conduct a change effort.

Explanation / Answer
Article relating to leadership & strategic change:
The selected article is by David F. Caldwell, Jennifer Chatman, Charles A. O’Reilly III, Margaret Ormiston, and Margaret Lapiz
Background of the article:
This article discusses how strategic change can fail if the leaders don’t adopt the behaviors required to bring successful change in the healthcare organizations.
Purpose:
Purpose of this article is how agreement with new strategy, leader’s actions & group orientation towards change can influence the members in the organization to take actions supporting the change aimed improving the satisfaction of the patients.
Method:
Physicians from 37 departments in a large healthcare organization were surveyed regarding their support for new strategic change in the organization, the actions of various department leaders & their general norms supporting the change. The results of the study were based on the level of patient satisfaction with the respective department.
Results:
The strategic change was directly linked with patient satisfaction. The link between strategic change & leadership was related with patient satisfaction.
Conclusion:
From the study conducted in the article, it shows that there is correlation between norms & perceptions of the leader where the norms come from the leader’s actions. What is noticed & rewarded by the leader, how he spends his time etc. how he makes use of mistakes as opportunities for learning & correcting, rewards the performance of the team, exhibits energy towards the team in teaching them new things, reaching the goals, the team would take change in a positive way, ignores mistakes, avoids experimentation etc. leaders must also have direct, relentless communication, look for ways to involve staffs in identifying methods for implementing the strategy.
Differences between these two articles:
The above article says how the leaders must be, what kind of behaviors must they exhibit to bring successful change in the organization, what actions must be taken by them to make people to accept change in a positive way & how all these can also have an impact on the patient satisfaction.
Whereas the abstract of The Denis, LaMotte, and Langley (2001) says how they focus on sharing leadership in teams, pooling leadership at the top of the organizations, spreading leadership across boundaries & also producing leadership through interaction. But both the articles aim in spreading leadership to the entire team to bring about change in a successful manner in the organization.
