Abstract

This study investigated the transition management effect on organizational restructuring, locus of control and organizational culture on managerial level, team leads and lower staff in TPS. The research design used is the descriptive survey method. A combination of questionnaires designed by (Milroy, 1995) and (Denison, 1996) were used to examine the effects of transition. The sample was of 200 employees of a small and dynamic firm in Karachi. We examined the effects of transition management on organizational restructuring, locus of control through organizational culture. The fundamental target of this study was to recognize conceivable methodologies that associations can seek after in executing transition without unfavorably influencing the representatives. The study has analyzed following variables i.e. locus of control, organizational restructuring and organizational culture. The findings and conclusion of the research are discussed in the article. Keywords: Organizational Restructuring, Locus of Control, Organizational Culture
