Impact of a Major Organizational Change on Employee Productivity and Mental Health

Sponsor: Aarhus University Hospital

Summary

The study investigates the short- and long-term impact of a major organizational change on employee health and productivity. Changes in organizations is a common aspect of modern work life in all sectors and public healthcare is no exception. However, emerging evidence suggests that organizational changes may be a potential stressor which can impact on employee well-being and contribute to stress-related health problems. Using a large-scale natural experiment, the overall aim of the study is to investigate the impact of a major organizational change that took place during 2016-19 on employee health and productivity. In addition, we aim to identify groups that may be at increased risk of experiencing negative consequences of the reorganization. These at-risk groups can in turn be candidates for extended preventive measures when planning future major organizational changes.
