20.500.12556/RUP-22662 Analysis of key impact factors in new methods implementation in organisations a change management perspective Background/Purpose: This paper examines the key factors for successful change implementation in organisations, management qualities, and the most common barriers to change implementation. The main change we focus on is implementing new work methods in the organisation, such as Six Sigma, Lean, Lean Six Sigma, Kaizen, and similar methods. Methods: The latest findings from the literature about change management, key success factors and barriers to change implementation are presented. An empirical study of 55 organisations from Slovenia is presented. An online questionnaire was used to gather data. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. The research questions concerned the key factors influencing the successful implementation of organisational changes, the qualities neces- sary for organisational leaders, and the most common barriers to successful implementation. Results: The key factors for successful change implementation are strongly connected to cultural and human-re- lated factors, such as top management and employee involvement. Choosing the right leaders and communicating effectively about the implementation of change are key success factors. Key barriers identified include ineffective means of communication and employee habits and mindsets that do not support change. The most important quality of a manager who is leading organisational change is respect for other parties in the change management process, such as employees. Conclusion: Understanding key success factors and the barriers to implementing change in organisations can im- prove change management practices. The findings contribute to a better understanding of change management in the implementation of new methods in organisations and deliver theoretical and practical implications. Namen raziskave je preučiti uključne dejavnike za uspešno uvajanje sprememb v organizacijah, katere lastnosti managerjev najbolje podpirajo uvedbo sprememb in katere so najpogostejše ovire pri uvajanju sprememb v orga nizacijah. Glavna sprememba, na katero se osredotočamo, je uvedba novih metod dela v organizaciji, kot so Šest Sigma, Vitko poslovanje, Vitka šest sigma, Kaizen in podobne metode. Metode: Predstavljene so najnovejše ugotovitve iz literature o upravljanju sprememb, ključnih dejavnikih uspeha in ovirah pri uvajanju sprememb. Predstavljena je empirična študija o na vzorcu 55 organizacij iz Slovenije. Za zbiranje podatkov je bil uporabljen spletni vprašalnik. Za analizo podatkov je bila uporabljena opisna statistika. Rezultati kažejo, da so ključni dejavniki za uspešno izvajanje sprememb močno povezani s kulturo in ostalimi člo veškimi dejavniki, kot je podpora vršnega managementa in primerna vključenost zaposlenih. Izbira pravih vodij in učinkovita komunikacija pri uvajanju sprememb sta bila zaznana ključni dejavnik uspeha. Ugotovljeno je, da so ključ ne ovire pri uvajanju sprememb neučinkovit način komunikacije ter to, da obstoječe navade in miselnost zaposlenih ne podpirajo sprememb. Ugotovitve te raziskave prispevajo k boljšemu razumevanju uvajanja sprememb ter prinašajo teoretične in praktič ne implikacije, kot je uspešnejše uvajanje sprememb v organizacije. change management method implementation success sprememba menedžment metoda implementacija uspeh true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-02-17 11:40:59 2026-02-17 11:41:03 2026-02-18 03:05:30 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 str. 22-33 iss. 1 Vol. 59 Feb. 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-02-13 005.9 1581-1832 10.2478/orga-2026-0002 268716035 RAZ_Gosnik_Dusan_2026.pdf RAZ_Gosnik_Dusan_2026.pdf 1 1CB69C2EA0973F67E5D7C5637D1C7948 c3ce142d47c0005922cf00f36762d18ca110150c5e88c243d7a6ca31e72bda69 4d9e6bc0-0bed-11f1-b092-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=32981 https://organizacija.fov.um.si/issues/vol-59-no-1-2026/ 1 2bb924f8-0bed-11f1-b092-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=32980 Fakulteta za management 0 0 0
