From the Paper:

"Leadership Management in Nursing Question #1: Define change theory in the analysis and planned resolution of a problem. Marilyn Ray, Marian Turkel, and Fara Marino (2002) suggest that change within the health care industry has become a consistent process in the globalized world (p. 1). Change theory suggests that individuals fear change within the organization because individuals believe that through changing elements of the workplace they have lost their personal effectiveness in the organization. Change theory, therefore, relies on the success of management to make any change within an organization as non-threatening as possible, and provide for a "psychological safety" for the employees that will be relied upon to accomplish the change. Additionally, employees must be motivated to begin change, and this will be dependant on the manager's ability to analyze the situation from the perspective of the team."
