dc.description.abstractThe purpose of the study was to look into the variables influencing the Ministry of Labour, Industrial Relations and Employment Creation in Windhoek as it implements a strategic change. The investigation was conducted using a qualitative research methodology. Only sixty-five (65) employees from Windhoek's Ministry of Labour, Industrial Relations, and Employment Creation made up the study’s population. The Office of the Labour Commissioner, Planning and Administration, and Labour Services were the three (3) Directorates from which the sample for this study was drawn. The study’s ten (10) participants were selected through the use of a purposeful sampling technique. Semi-structured interviews were used as the data gathering tool in this study. Data analysis was done using the ATLAS.ti application suite. The outcomes demonstrated that the implementation of strategic change processes can be impacted by employee attitudes. This is due to the fact that each employee has a unique temperament, set of sentiments, and perspective on change, all of which affect how they feel about change and how change procedures affect them. The findings of this study also established the existence of significant influence of leadership visibility on and strategic change management within the Ministry of Labour, Industrial Relations and Employment Creation in Windhoek. This implies that leadership is crucial for change projects within a company to be successful. The study has shown that organizational culture has a big impact on managing strategic change, which is especially true in a world in which there are several complex cultures and subcultures. It was believed that articulating the necessity and justification for the change was essential for its successful implementation. The study has shown that realistic goal-setting is crucial and must be based on striking a realistic balance between the project's strategic goals and the necessary resources that are within the Ministry's capacity. The Government of Namibia should conduct organizational diagnosis through the Ministry of Labour, Industrial Relations and Employment Creation in order to institutionalize change techniques in the public sector, according to the findings. The public sector's organizational structure should be firmly rooted in strategic change management techniques. The public sector should treat each aspect influencing change management techniques as a temporary fix.
