In my research I analyze the role of middle managers in the changing process of organizations. As we know, organizations are always changing faster and faster and what I find interesting is to measure hope in middle managers using Snyder's hope scale and theory of hope as well as some life attitudes scales in order to find out what attitudes are most helpful in the changing process. I will then relate this to job satisfaction and effectiveness of the outcome of the change or the change process.
