Abstract
To prevent negative performances such as lose its market share, lose important employees, endanger shareholders, or even be declared bankrupt, a structure change has the most influence on the performance of the organization. As teams are one of the most influential aspects of the performance of the organization, a well-designed team structure is critical to the performance of the organization.
During a structure change, leadership communication affects organizational change majorly and does have a high influence on the involvement of employees. Although the urgency of leadership communication about an organizational change is known, it is important to investigate the role of leadership communication during the structure change. To increase knowledge, decrease the amount of organizational change failure and the influence of leadership communication on employee involvement.
Therefore, the influence of leadership communication on a structure change in combination with the team structure will be further investigated. This resulted in the following research question: "What influence does leadership communication about structure change in combination with the team structure have on employee involvement?’’ To increase knowledge and decrease the amount of organizational change failure.
To answer the research question, a single case study will be used. This to gain empirical evidence from people in the organization. Since people in the organization are the experts of the organization, they know and understand best what is happening in the organization. Specifically, this research will be done at a municipality, to gain knowledge on how the design of the team structure and leadership communication influences the involvement of employees.
This study makes a conceptual contribution as this research fills a gap in the literature, which is the influence of leadership communication on employee involvement. Also, this study makes a practical contribution as leadership knows that one-way communication from the leadership through the organizational hierarchy in combination with a hierarchical team structure negatively influences employee involvement.
