| Abstract: | As the increasing demands and competitions continue to pervade organizations, unlearning is not only a vital strategy for organizational change and innovation in the turbulent work environment but also for individual survival. Notably, only limited studies have focused on the psychological, cognitive, and social factors influencing employees’ process of unlearning. In particular, regarding the predictors of individual unlearning, the effects of mindset on individual unlearning have not been studied. Furthermore, since engaged employees have a positive attitude towards changes and job demands at work and are willing to go the extra mile to achieve their work goals, employees who show higher levels of work engagement tend to cope with changes and challenging tasks successfully. Thus, the purpose of the thesis is to investigate the effects of paradox mindset on individual unlearning and work engagement in two ways by using a mixed-method, aiming to provide a more comprehensive understanding of these relationships. In chapter 1, the importance of research topics and research gaps are described. As individual unlearning facilitates employees to improve their ability to adapt to changes and challenges in the workplace; moreover, it promotes personal growth and development, only a few empirical studies have examined the antecedents of individual unlearning. In chapter 2, the literature on individual unlearning and paradox mindset are reviewed to propose a research question and develop hypotheses for the quantitative study. In chapter 3, the methodology of adopting the sequential mixed method including quantitative and qualitative studies is explained. In chapter 4, the results of the quantitative study are described. The results of structural equation modeling with questionnaire survey data (n=358) showed that paradox mindset was found to promote work engagement through individual unlearning directly and indirectly and paradox mindset had a positive effect on seeking challenges. In chapter 5, the results of the qualitative study are described. The results of the grounded theory approach with eighteen participants indicate that two critical processes from paradox mindset to individual unlearning were identified: managing tensions referring to the affective process and reflective thinking referring to the cognitive process. That is, employees’ paradox mindset plays a critical role in fostering individuals’ positive affective and cognitive processes, and then triggers their proactive behaviors: seeking challenges and individual unlearning. In chapter 6, the results of the quantitative and qualitative studies were theoretically and practically discussed. |
