| This action research study explores how individuals within the Employment Standards Branch of the Provincial Government of British Columbia can learn to embrace change. The study comes at an opportune time, as it correlates with a Corporate Human Resource Initiative promoting employee engagement in the workplace. This particular opportunity examines elements of personal and organizational change, including the role mindset plays in our reactions to change. This study is significant because change within the Provincial Government is frequent; consequently, I believe it is imperative we learn to use it to our advantage, or challenge it in a constructive manner. The research was conducted through a mixed methodology of quantitative and qualitative research techniques; online survey, individual interviews and a teleconference, in accordance with mandated ethical principles and guidelines. The study findings and recommendations address themes from both a personal and organizational context, focusing on individual capacity and values-based leadership. |
