| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立高雄大學 === 高階經營管理碩士在職專班(EMBA) === 100 === From the past to the present, non-profit organizations in society has always played
a very important role, but also because of the changing of society, the more factors
impact on the operation and survival of the non-profit organizations, and therefore
demands the non-profit organizations makes more efforts on change management .In
this study, a change church in Taipei (A Church),we used as example to see how they
apply organizational theories,(mainly Kotter's eight steps) to go through
stagnation-breakthrough-growth process. We use this this example to explore how
non-profit organizations go through organizational changes in response to
environmental change, to ensure that the organizations can be sustainable development.
Our discussion includes the causes of organizational change, the resistance in the
process, the means to overcome the resistance, and the success factors of
transformation.
This research uses case interviews and other means to gather information. Research
findings and suggestions are as follows:
1.In three times of transformation of church A, the method and principles they used was
quite fit with Kotter’s theory. This proves that the transformation theory can be
applied in the growth and transformation of church.
2.The experience of A church affirms that: “Postor” is the key factor of the success of
transformation and growth of church. This point is also emphasized by church growth
theory very much. Pastor’s character、leadership abilities、strong will、communication
ability、strategic planning ability,…etc which all can influence the success or failure
of transformation very much. Every steps of eight steps of Kotter’s transformation
process needs capable leaders to accomplish.
3.The study of A church shows that church is a Non-profit Organization (volunteer
group) ,so the “stick and carrot” method can’t be applied in the church the same as
business and government. In the process of transformation of church ,“stronger
persuation” and “more patient” is very important, otherwise, the transformation will
fail and become church stagnation .
