摘要：Estonian companies have been in a continuing change process during past decades.Estonia has succeeded in replacing a planned economy with a free market economy.Still,a lot has to be done to achieve a quality level comparable with developed countries in the European Union.The main problem is:how to change Estonian business organizations even faster than organizations change in developed countries.To meet this challenge,we must rely on both the theories and the experiences of developed countries.A questionnaire was devised to measure connections between employee willingness to participate in the organizational change process and employee job satisfaction.Research conducted in Estonian companies shows that satisfaction and participation are positively correlated,and employees with higher job satisfaction are more willing to participate in the organizational change process than are employees with a lower job satisfaction level.On the basis of this research,a model that connects job satisfaction and employee participation was developed.
