The environment of continuous, serial change has increased employee stress and leads to a condition known as enervative change. Enervative change reflects the stage where the energy mobilized by the change process is beginning to run down and increased job stress occurs. U.S. military research, experiences, and practices into “combat stress” as well as the “adaptive enterprise” have been used as the basis for a proposed new change management framework (“C5”) to be deployed as a means to moderate the stress related to organizational change leading to increased adaptability. Combat stress is analogous in many ways to enervative change, with similar cognitive and emotional stressors and employee/soldier reactions.
