The purpose of this study was to build an understanding of the transitional experiences of four Directors of Education who led school division restructuring initiatives in rural Saskatchewan. The data regarding the participants experiences were collected through participant observation, a survey, and a series of three interviews in which the participants were asked to describe their transitional experiences. Additionally, an interview with a member of the Restructuring Coordinating Committee and a process of document analysis provided further information about the restructuring initiative in which the Directors were involved.<p> The conceptual framework for this study included the work of several researchers who had previously focused on transitions. It included the concept that transitions took place in three non-linear stages: the ending, the neutral zone, and the beginning. Additionally, the conceptual framework reflected the belief that transitions are influenced by the individuals personal circumstances. This study added to the collective knowledge of change leadership as it chronicled the lived experiences of leaders who went through personal transitions while in the process of leading change and managing the transitions of employees within their organization.<p> This study utilized a multiple case study design to explore the transitional experiences of educational leaders, charged with the task of leading organizational restructuring. Participants included four Directors of Education from rural Saskatchewan school divisions that were involved in the January 2006 provincial restructuring initiative.<p> The data analysis resulted in three understandings: a) Variations in personal circumstances have a significant impact on the way that individuals experience transitions. b) Relationship building is a key component of the transition process. c) The leader must first negotiate interpersonal relationships and then focus on repatterning processes and building relationships within the organization.

However, because they have practical skills in their management, including planning and execution experience problems of controls, thus requiring frequentadjustments. This dissertation examines the organizational restructuring in a cooperative and, therefore, raises the data of the previous and current controlling their structure and management processes. This is a case study in a Cooperative Medical Fortaleza, Ceará. The study presents an overview of the cooperative, especially inthe sector of health cooperatives, stating the reasons for the controller and use as methodological approach for analyzing the changes, the component modelo f cooperative management proposed by Oliveira (2006).

Sendo alternativa econômica e social, o cooperativismo tem se adaptado bem na área da saúde, aglutinando profissionais médicos de diversas especialidades, sendo autogeridos em ambiente propício para o desenvolvimento dos processos de gestão. Entretanto, por não terem em suas competências práticas de gestão, abrangendo planejamento e execução passam por problemas de controles, necessitando assim de constantes adaptações. Esta dissertação analisa a reestruturação organizacional em uma cooperativa dessa área e, por isso, levanta dados da situação anterior e atual da controladoria e sua estrutura de processos de gestão, sendo este um estudo de caso em uma Cooperativa Médica de Fortaleza, no Ceará. O estudo apresenta uma visão geral do cooperativismo, sobretudo no setor das cooperativas de saúde, apresentando os fundamentos da controladoria e usa como percurso metodológico de análise das mudanças, o modelo de componentes de gestão de cooperativas proposto por Oliveira (2006). Verificou-se que as mudanças na controladoria foram ajudaram na reestruturação organizacional no processo de gestão, em toda UNIMED Fortaleza. Os resultados foram visualizados através dos componentes estruturais subdivididos em estrutura organizacional, em informações gerenciais e em componentes estratégicos, planejamento estratégico, nos componentes comportamentais de avaliação e diretivos. O maior ganho percebido por causa das mudanças foi evolução de gestão, tanto quando da implantação da nova metodologia, interno na controladoria, como pode ser visualizado em toda organização.

Com a implementação do programa de virtualização dos processos no Poder Judiciário do Rio Grande do Sul pretendemos analisar as adaptações pertinentes na estrutura organizacional das unidades judiciais do 1º grau de jurisdição e o impacto nas atividades dos servidores e dos juízes. Torna-se necessária uma revisão das práticas tradicionais a fim de preparar e adaptar as unidades jurisdicionais à nova realidade, especialmente no que diz respeito à distribuição das atividades. O programa de virtualização permite a unificação em apenas uma equipe integrante da unidade judicial, dispensando a tradicional divisão entre o cartório e o gabinete. Logo, diante da eliminação dos tempos mortos de tramitação do processo, torna-se imperioso o reforço da equipe de assessoria do magistrado em relação ao pessoal de cartório, mesmo porque a tendência no futuro é de unificação das estruturas cartorárias para atender a todos os juízes da comarca ou, no mínimo, drástica redução e alteração das atividades mecânicas cartorárias. Nesse contexto, na tentativa de auxiliar na elaboração de um cenário dos demais Tribunais brasileiros, além de facilitar as tomadas de decisões cabíveis, a partir de uma metodologia qualitativa baseada em estudo comparativo e entrevistas, foi organizada uma síntese e apresentadas proposições viáveis no que tange à estrutura organizacional do 1º grau de jurisdição do Poder Judiciário, visando sempre maior eficiência e qualidade na prestação jurisdicional. / Regarding the virtualization process of legal proceedings in the lower State Courts of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, this dissertation intends to analyze the necessary organizational structures adjustments and how those affect the activities of such court’s employees and judges. In order to prepare and adapt the jurisdictional units to this new reality, a review of the traditional practices becomes necessary, especially regarding the distribution of the activities of the court’s employees. The virtualization program allows a merge of the court office and the chamber’s employees, dismissing the usual activities division currently existent between them. So, in face of the reduction of the lawsuit delay time, it becomes even more necessary increasing the number of judge’s clerks and other assistant rather than other employees of the court. This is particularly necessary because the trend is that courts’ office structures will be unified in order to serve all judges of a given jurisdiction or, at least, to drastically reduce and change the manual duties of the courts’ offices. In this context, with the intent to help create a scenario of all Brazilian courts, in addition to assist in the courts’ decision making, through a qualitative methodology based on comparative studies and interviews a summary of viable proposals was organized and provided with respect to the organizational structures of the lower courts for more efficiency and quality in the provision of jurisdictional public services.

La tesi ha l’obiettivo di analizzare il cambiamento organizzativo in una prospettiva di social network analysis, sfruttando dati longitudinali raccolti a seguito della modifica della struttura organizzativa in un Policlinico Universitario italiano. Il manoscritto è organizzativo in tre paper. Il primo paper si focalizza sul tema del rapporto tra network formali e network informali, analizzando come la modifica del primo comporti una corrispondente variazione nel secondo. Il paper dimostra come, in assenza di strutture organizzative ben formalizzate, gli individui tendono ad allacciare nuovi legami con colleghi che appartengono alla stessa specializzazione. Il secondo paper, invece, attingendo prettamente alla letteratura di comportamento organizzativo, analizza il tema della dinamicità del network, fornendo evidenze in relazione alla stabilità del network stesso a seguito del cambiamento. Particolare attenzione, è inoltre, dedicata alle dinamiche intra – team e al ruolo di quest’ultime nell’accettazione o meno del cambiamento. Infine, il terzo paper sviluppa il tema della network density e di come quest’ultima possa essere correlato al cambiamento organizzativo, in termini di reazione al cambiamento. Inoltre, si dimostra come la formalizzazione abbia un impatto positivo sulla densità del network, specie in contesti organizzativi caratterizzati da una bassa gerarchia e coordinamento orizzontale. / This thesis aims to analyze organizational change in a social network analysis perspective, exploiting longitudinal data collected after a modification of the organizational structure in an Italian Teaching Hospital The manuscript is organized into three papers. The first paper focuses on the theme of the relationship between formal networks and informal networks, analyzing how the modification of the first involves a corresponding variation in the second. The paper demonstrates how, in the absence of formalized organizational structures, individuals tend to establish new ties with colleagues who belong to the same specialization. The second paper, drawing purely from the organizational behavior literature, analyzes the issue of the network dynamics , providing evidence and antecedents for network stability in response to organizational change. Particular attention is also given to the intra - team dynamics and the impact of individual perception of collective properties in driving employees in accepting or not the organizational change. Finally, the third paper develops the theme of network density and how the latter can be related to organizational change, in terms of reaction to change. Furthermore, it is shown how formalization has a positive impact on network density, especially in organizational contexts characterized by a low hierarchy and horizontal coordination.
