Abstract:	This project proposes a three-year study of the impact of market and regulatory changes on the organizational practices of different hospital units, seeking to understand how hospitals self-regulate to maintain their value systems as they adapt their operational practices in a changing environment. Further, it aims to develop a more refined theory of organizational change and role stress in dynamic contexts than presently exists, exploring the impact of change on organizational and employee outcomes. Finally, the study will develop a valid measure of dynamic change and empirically investigate its impact on unit effectiveness, an area that has been neglected in past research.
