Drawing on insights from change experience research, the purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of managers’ experiences, as change recipients, on organizational change implemented by the managers.,Since the Japanese sports context fits well with the aims of this research, longitudinal data of Japanese baseball are used to test the hypotheses. The data set was created using resources such as books published by Japanese baseball institutions. Following previous research, teams are regarded as organizations, and the number of changed players in teams per year is considered. The hypotheses have been tested using regression analysis on a yearly basis.,Managers’ experiences as change recipients are an essential determinant of organizational change. The findings show that the amount of change these managers experience is associated with the magnitude of organizational change they implement. Past change experiences in each organization positively moderates this relationship.,Previous studies examined managers’ experience after their appointment, and showed its influence on organizational change. However, scarce research examines the effect of managers’ experiences as change recipients on the organizational change they implement. Thus, this is the first study to analyze and test the effects of such experiences on organizational change.

经理作为接班人的经历：对组织变革的影响

借鉴变革经验研究的见解，本文的目的是检验作为变革接受者的经理经验对经理实施的组织变革的影响。由于日本体育背景非常适合本研究的目标，日本棒球的纵向数据用于检验假设。该数据集是使用日本棒球机构出版的书籍等资源创建的。根据先前的研究，团队被视为组织，并且考虑了每年团队中更改的球员数量。每年都使用回归分析对这些假设进行检验。由于变更接受者是组织变更的重要决定因素，因此经理的经历。调查结果表明，这些经理经历的变更量与他们实施的组织变更的规模有关。每个组织过去的变革经历积极地调节了这种关系。以前的研究检查了经理任职后的经历，并显示了其对组织变革的影响。然而，稀少的研究考察了作为变更接受者的经理经历对他们实施的组织变革的影响。因此，这是第一个分析和测试这种经历对组织变革的影响的研究。然而，稀少的研究考察了作为变更接受者的经理经历对他们实施的组织变革的影响。因此，这是第一个分析和测试这种经历对组织变革的影响的研究。但是，稀少的研究考察了作为变更接受者的经理经历对他们实施的组织变革的影响。因此，这是第一个分析和测试这种经历对组织变革的影响的研究。
