ABSTRACT
The goal of this study is to develop an instrument based on the 5Rs model for managing the anxiety that results from organizational change. The 5Rs are Recognizing, Researching, Reducing, Reconstructing anxiety, and Restructuring reality. The developed instrument (15 statements: 12 for organizational anxiety and 3 for organizational change) was tested on a randomly selected sample (n = 163) representing organizational leaders. Obtained data showed that that the content validity (the degree of agreement within a panel of experts) was acceptable, and the reliability coefficients for the organizational anxiety subscale and organizational change subscale were acceptable. Moreover, the regression analysis indicated that the organizational anxiety could significantly and uniquely predict the organizational change. Relevant recommendations are included.
