Abstract: Organizational change is an integral part of contemporary business operations, and effective change management is essential for ensuring organizational success. This study aimed to explore the relationship between adaptive management techniques and their effects on employee retention and productivity during organizational change. A comparative case study approach was employed, analyzing various adaptive management techniques, including participative change management, directive change management, coaching and mentoring, and communication and transparency. Findings from the study highlighted the importance of tailoring change management strategies to the organizational context and the specific nature of the change. Participative decision-making, clear communication, and targeted coaching and mentoring were found to positively influence employee retention and productivity during change. The study's results underscore the significance of adaptive management techniques in successfully navigating organizational change and provide valuable insights for organizations seeking to minimize employee turnover and maintain productivity. Future research could explore the generalizability of the findings across a broader range of organizations, industries, and countries, as well as investigate the causal relationships between change management strategies and employee outcomes.
