The sample consists of 150 respondents which was made up of 120 employees and 30 management staff of business organizations. Methods of doing this include simple random sampling, stratified sampling, cluster sampling and systematic sampling. This research work therefore, concludes that change initiatives properly communicated by management and implemented by employees produces organizational success. It is however recommended that leaders should involve employees in change management issues, as this would reduce “employee resistance” and retain change initiatives.
