Modern approaches to Occupational Health and Safety have acknowledged the important contribution that continuous improvements to working conditions can make to the motivation of employees, their subsequent performance, and therefore to the competitiveness of the company. Despite this fact, organizational change initiatives represent a path less traveled by employees. Specialized literature has drawn on the fact that employees' satisfaction presents both the foundation and catalyst for effective implementation of improvements to working conditions.
This paper conceptualizes the alignment of employees through measurement of job satisfaction and uses the Bayesian Network to assess the influence of human factors, particularly the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects. Toward this aim, the Bayesian Network is evaluated through a cross-validation process, and a sensitivity analysis is then conducted for each influential dimension: emotional, cognitive, and behavioral.
The results reveal that these three dimensions are interrelated and have a direct influence on job satisfaction and employees' alignment during the organization change. Further, they suggest that the best strategy for enhanced alignment and smooth conduct of organizational changes is simultaneous enhancement of the three dimensions. Practical applications: This study shows the influence of emotional, cognitive, and behavioral dimensions on job satisfaction and employees' alignment during the organizational change. Furthermore, it elaborates the way to develop efficient and effective strategies for a successful change implementation and sustained alignment.
现代职业健康与安全方法已经认识到，不断改善工作条件可以对员工的积极性、随后的绩效产生重要贡献，从而提高公司的竞争力。尽管如此，组织变革举措仍然是员工不太愿意涉足的领域。专业文献已经认识到，员工满意度既是有效实施工作条件改善的基础，也是其催化剂。
本文通过衡量工作满意度来概念化员工的一致性，并使用贝叶斯网络来评估人为因素的影响，特别是认知、情感和行为方面。为此，通过交叉验证过程评估贝叶斯网络，然后对每个有影响力的维度（情感、认知和行为）进行敏感性分析。
结果表明，这三个维度相互关联，并且在组织变革期间对工作满意度和员工的一致性有直接影响。此外，它们表明，增强一致性和顺利进行组织变革的最佳策略是同时增强这三个维度。
本研究展示了情感、认知和行为维度在组织变革期间对工作满意度和员工一致性的影响。此外，它详细阐述了制定高效和有效的策略来成功实施变革和保持一致性的方法。
