Doctoral research in Organizational Psychology

Have you seen a decision that looked widely agreed, but became difficult to carry forward?

We are studying how organizational transformation decisions move from apparent agreement to implementation, and why some become more fragile along the way.

Doctoral research at ISPA University Institute on decision processes, behavioral responses, and the quality and acceptance of organizational transformation decisions.

A decision is approved. Few concerns are raised. The room moves on. Weeks later, priorities shift, doubts surface, and the agreement begins to lose force.

Investigating what happens between agreement and implementation
01 Visible agreement
02 Reservations stay hidden
03 Support quietly withdraws
04 Implementation stalls
Why organizations should care

Agreement may close the meeting without settling what happens next.

Approval is not commitment

A decision can be formally approved without being fully accepted or supported by the people expected to implement it.

Silence is not always consent

People may withhold doubts when hierarchy, momentum, or group pressure makes disagreement feel costly.

Implementation may expose what the meeting left unresolved

Ambiguity, private reservations, and weak support may become visible only when action is required.

How you can help

Help the study understand how decisions move from agreement to implementation.

The study depends on professionals who have taken part in significant transformation decisions. It examines decision processes and behavioral responses; it does not diagnose people or score organizations.

1Recall the decision

Think about one significant transformation decision in which you were directly involved.

2Share your experience

Take part through the study questionnaire when it opens.

3Help research compare

Your response helps the study examine how decision processes and behavioral responses relate to quality, acceptance, and implementation.

Can we count on your experience?
