Abstract: The evolution of organization change management research : a citation analysis of the Journal of Organizational Change Management, 1995-2011The purpose of this study is to identify the documents which have had the greatest impact on the evolution of organizational change management research. A bibliometric study is conducted thanks to a citation analysis in order to identify the most cited documents in the articles published in the Journal of Organizational Change Management between 1995 and 2011. Books have had the heaviest impact though the influence of articles has increased at the end of the studied period. Documents addressing change with the continuous creed and some major references in the field of organizational theory are particularly cited. Lately, organizational change scholars have specifically cited authors working on constructivist research designs, among which some are language-based. This would imply that organizational change management has been a developing discipline because researchers have been focusing on the identification of general models in order to build theories and that context has eventually been considered as necessary for the study of change management. Even though the sample of retained articles seems representative of the research efforts in organizational change management, the data set presents some limitations. There are also some limits inherent to the research design and to the bibliometric methods. The intention of the present research is to give a quantitative overview of the most influential documents in the field. Grasping the most cited documents enables researchers and practitioners to better understand how issues in organizational change management are being approached. It also stimulates the scholarly debate. This citation analysis study is the first to be concerned with the field of organizational change management and completes already existing literature reviews.
