Abstract:
Anosognosic management occurs when a manager is both functionally inept and lacks the ability to
perceive that ineptitude. This study explores Anosognosic managerial performance and its indirect impact
on organizational change. This study used a concurrent mixed methods approach to examine the
relationship between respondents’ perceptions of the ease with which their organizations could change
and the respondents’ perceptions of manager job performance, perceptions of manager-induced
employee morale (MIEM) and perceptions of manager-induced interaction hostility (MIIH). The study
found correlations between Anosognosic job performance, the perceived ease of organizational change,
the perception of manager-induced interaction hostility and the perception of manager-induced employee
morale.
