Abstract
This systematic literature review explores the intricate relationship between change management and employee wellbeing. It examines how different change management strategies and practices influence employee morale, motivation, commitment, and overall wellbeing. Drawing on a range of peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings, the review integrates various theoretical frameworks like Kotters 8-Step Change Model, Lewin's Change Management Model, and the ADKAR model, highlighting their relevance in contemporary organizational settings. The study also delves into the psychological aspects of change management, underscoring the importance of employee engagement, communication, training, and leadership in mitigating the negative impacts of organizational change. It reveals that while effective change management can enhance employee wellbeing and engagement, poor practices can lead to increased stress, resistance to change, and decreased job satisfaction. The review suggests that empathetic leadership, inclusive organizational cultures, and participative change management approaches are crucial in fostering employee wellbeing during times of change.
