This article outlines (badly) the sorts of changes impacting higher education institutions, but the main focus is on what it calls 'change fatigue', "a state of emotional and physical exhaustion brought on by frequent and intense changes," symptoms of which include 'combativeness', 'agitation', 'incivility' and more (coincidentally the same symptoms created by low pay or toxic work environments - but I digress). The response, called the Energy Commitment Model, is based on the idea that "once an employee reaches a sufficient level of desire, the individual will engage more fully with the change." To me, it reads like a psychological model created by economists (even the diagrams look like economists'). And it's the usual: "additional focus on open and transparent communication regarding self-care and workload management."
