EXPLORING THE VARIOUS FACTORS INFLUENCING THE READINESS FOR THE ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES AT WORK PLACE WITH RESPECT TO BANKING SECTOR OF GUJARAT
Abstract
The banking industry has become highly competitive in India and all over the world. It is not only focusing on providing wide and range of products to create and sustain competitive advantages; but also emphasizes on the digitalization of products and services. Thus, digitalization and related structural and technological changes offers a way of achieving success among competing services, particularly in the case of firms that offer nearly identical services, such as banks, where establishing service quality may be the only way of differentiating oneself. Employee readiness for such changes significantly influences successful change implementation. It is therefore imperative on the part of bankers to stress upon both digitalization of the bank branches, employee readiness for organizational change due to digitalization and retaining them in banks. Further, a satisfied employee is likely to be committed & loyal to a bank that gives satisfied customers to the bank. 480 employees of eight selected banks – SBI, PNB, ICICI, HDFC, Axis, BOB, Canara Bank and Kotak were surveyed through a structured questionnaire. After checking reliability and validity of the collected data, Factors of the Employee Readiness for Change were extracted through exploratory factor analysis and based on that; empirical model of the employee readiness was also studied.
