Research-Based change management insights for leaders seeking to create lasting, high-impact change


“While much has been said about the concept and experience of change, very little statistically accurate research exists to guide our understanding of the best drivers of successful change.
It’s time to debunk change myths and harness the power of change emotions as transformational forces in the workplace.”

Let's disrupt change as usual.
In this first-of-its-kind study, led by Change Enthusiasm Global in partnership with The Center for Generational Kinetics, the 2022 National Study of Change and Emotion in the Workforce increases your understanding, confidence, and know-how to lead and execute change at work.
The national study included 1,000 U.S. participants ages 16-65 weighted to the 2020 U.S. Census for age, gender, geography, and ethnicity. In addition, the study included an oversample of 500 participants who are currently employed full-time, part-time, or self-employed. The margin of error is +/-2.53 percentage points.
The national study was conducted online from May 15, 2022, to May 25, 2022. This research is protected by copyright 2022 by Change Enthusiasm Global, LLC and The Center for Generational Kinetics, LLC. All rights are reserved

1,000 U.S. participants representing all of America ages 16 to 65 and a sample of another 500 participants who are currently employed full-time, part-time, or of self-employed.

The study included 26% Gen Z, 19% Younger Millennials, 21% Older Millennials, 22% Gen X, and 12% Boomers.

The study spans data from West 21%, MidWest 21%, South 38%, and Northeast 17%.


“What we’ve been getting wrong about workplace change is under-valuing the significance of acknowledging and embracing emotion.
When we understand the emotional dynamics through data-driven insights, we can empower every level of the organization to transform that emotional energy into fuel for sustained change adoption and both personal and professional growth throughout every change journey.”
