RESENDE, Sonia  and  NEIVA, Elaine Rabelo. Associations between people management practices and behavior in support of organizational change: a longitudinal study. Rev. Psicol., Organ. Trab. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.4, pp. 1792-1800. ISSN 1984-6657.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5935/rpot/2021.4.22119.

This research investigated associations between the perception of people management practices and change-supportive behavior of public servants at the People Management Secretariat of a Brazilian public agency. The study is longitudinal, with three waves of data collection between 2016 and 2019, and describes the structural changes in people management policies and practices. The results showed that the perception of people management policies and practices can explain the behavior that supports change in critical periods. This study contributes both to academia and to practice with the first evidence of the results of actions taken by the people management area using alternative criteria, such as increased support for change and the recognition of implemented policies and practices.

Keywords : people management practices; change-supportive behavior; changes; longitudinal study.
