Abstract
This study investigates the dynamic development of experiences and attitudes toward a large-scale organizational change at individual and occupational group levels. Moreover, the study investigates the moderating role of employee participation in change planning decisions on the relationship perceived impact - attitudes towards the change. Employee panel data (n = 901) were gathered at two-time points, three years apart. We applied a two-wave latent change score model to address change and time-sequential associations between and within constructs and across four occupational groups. The findings show that: (1) increased personal impact of the organizational change is related to worsened attitudes towards the change, with significant variation between occupational groups. Moreover, (2) the employees that gain/lose power on organizational change planning develop fewer/more negative attitudes the more they become impacted by the changes.
