Further research investigating the personal change process associated with organisational change is recommended. Moreover, it is suggested that sequentially staged change models, in particular, are tested for discriminant validity to ensure that sufficiently independent factors are present. While acknowledging the limitations of the study, the results of this paper do start to call into question the validity of the step-wise conceptualisation of personal change models like ADKAR. Further research is therefore needed into the general theory of sequentially designed change models that propose that antecedent factors are a prerequisite for the success of the following factor.
With regards to this particular research, which was focussed on the initial stage of the change, it is suggested that later stages of the change should also be researched in order to track whether similar findings are found.
