...Change Management Questionnaire Alex Reed University of Phoenix December 20, 2010 ORG/6502 Gerald Ingersoll McShane – Von Glinow (2008) refer to organizational structure as the division of labour as well as the patterns of formal power, coordination, communication, and workflow that direct organizational activities. Johanson (2000) suggests that organizational structures are frequently used as tools for change because they establish new communication patterns and align employee behaviour with the corporate vision. Kurt Lewin developed a landmark, three-stage organizational planned change theory model which explains how to initiate, manage, and stabilize the organizational structure change processes Johanson was referring too. Colvin’s (2007) assumptions of Lewin’s model were that the change process had to involve new learning; the elimination of current attitudes, behaviours, or organizational practices; and there needed to be some form of motivation to change. Colvin went on to imply that employees were a central part of any organizational structural change, that change would only occur when the employees changed, and that effective change requires continuous reinforcement of the new behaviours, attitudes, and organizational practices. Colvin concluded that resistance to change is found even when the goals of change are highly desirable. McShane – Von Glinow (2008) indicated that according to various surveys, more than 40 percent of executives identify...

...comprehensive questionnaire containing all pertinent components of the internal control system in place within the company or business unit. The idea of the internal control questionnaires is to provide auditors with wealthy information in regards to the controls in place and possible risky areas. “Internal control questionnaires are designed to help the audit team obtain evidence about the control environment and about the accounting and control procedures that are considered good error-checking routines. Answers to the questions, however, should not be taken as final and definitive evidence about how well control actually functions. Evidence obtained through the interview-questionnaire process is hearsay evidence because its source is the supervisor, not the person who actually performs the control work. This person could give answers that reflect what he or she believes the system should be rather than what it really is. The person can be unaware of informal ways in which duties have been changed or can be innocently ignorant of the system details. Nevertheless, interviews and questionnaires are useful when a manager tells of a weak feature. An admission of weak control is fairly convincing” (Lowers, et. Al 2007). On Appendix A of this paper, an example of an Internal Control Questionnaire is provided. It is general by nature, but it can be easily customized to any company/industry or even department. Control Environment The Control Environment part of the questionnaire will give...

...information gathering is important, it ensures the results are valid and reliable, as well as ensuring the data not being artifacts of instruments used for measuring (Hair, 2012). The guiding concept in developing the questionnaire was used in measurements as well to scale whether it was validated by previous research. The used of variables and measurements from previous studies is always recommended, rather than creating new variables. Existing variables have already been tested empirically, rendering the process of determining their empirical validity easier and simpler. This also provides stability amongst different variables in different samples and how they affect dependent variables, in different words, determining their relative importance to the research. The questionnaire consists of four main sections: Part A to Part D. Part A gathers demographic data of the respondent and his/ her organisation and the status of ABC in organisations; Part B focused on the factors ( Top management support , Training , Non accounting ownership, Information technology , and Organisational...

...PROJECT PROPOSAL GRIEVANCE HANDLING PROCEDURES AND THEIR IMPACT ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE: A CASE STUDY OF GHANA COCOA BOARD 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Grievance is a sign of an employee’s discontentment with his job or his relationship with his colleagues. Grievance generally arises out of the day to day working relations in an organization, an employee or a trade union protest against an act or policy of the management that they consider as violating employees rights. An organization will establish a grievance practice to give an opportunity to the employee to file his or her frustration. The establishment of grievance procedure is in line with the principle of “due process” (Mante-Meija & Enid, 1991) which guarantees the application of procedural justice and ethical decision making in an organization. Besides the establishment of grievance procedure will resolve employees’ dissatisfaction fairly, behavior of personnel who handle grievance also brings effect to the employee’s satisfaction on the result of grievance resolution. Managers will handle grievances referred to them base on their personality reference. One of the effective ways of minimizing and eliminating the source of employee’s grievance is by having an ‘open door policy’. An ‘open door policy’ facilitates upward communication in the organization where employees can walk into superiors’ cabin at any time and express their grievances. The National Commission on Labour suggested a Model Grievance...

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.0 Background OF THE STUDY Financial accountability is not complete without audit, which remains one of the most neglected and mis-understood areas of financial management. This could be traced to the crudeness of accounting methods used in the early stages of civilization where individuals check account by themselves. It is for this reason that the practice of audit has been accorded its rightful place with a view to imposing some system of check upon person whose business involves to record the receipt and disbursement of money on behalf of others. However, the need for audit mostly government account is precipitated by a number of issues. One of such issue is the size of the public sector, the financing of which have become very burdensome, especially with the fall in public revenue resulting from the change of circumstances of the international oil market. According to Asechemic (1999), the pervasive presence of public sector is due, in part, to the historical national condition of a weak private modern sector in the past colonial Nigerian economy. The economy activity of government arising from this historic condition has made the Nigerian public sector very large. A need to reduce the size of the public expenditure has become clear to many observers. The privatization and commercialization project in the structural adjustment programmers (SAP) is an office response to the call for a reduction of public sector spending. ...
