The participants were non disabled workers - employed in different organizations of a Northern Italian province - working with colleagues with psychiatric disorders. The hypothesis of the research was the following: cooperative relationships influence positively the opinions and emotions of the able workers towards their disabled colleagues. A measure of implicit favouritism for the category of able employees was included in the research design. Results were consistent with the research hypothesis. Cooperative relationships increased empathy and reduced anxiety towards the disabled workers. These outcomes were engendered by the perception of a common identity: belonging to the same organization. Furthermore, cooperative relationships reduced the implicit favouritism towards the able employees. Discussion: the authors examine the practical and theoretical implications of these outcomes.

Across diverse organizational settings, populations studied, types of organizational change implemented, and measures of coping with change, we found that need for closure was negatively related, and locomotion tendency was positively related, to coping with change. We also found that the negative relation between need for closure and coping was attenuated where organizational climate is supportive of change, and that degree of successful coping with change determines post-change work attitudes. Planned or episodic organizational change has been of longstanding interest to social and industrial psychologists, and it continues to be so, perhaps more so now than ever (Porras & Silver, 1991; Wamberg & Banas, 2000; Weick & Quinn, 1999). According to Weick and Quinn, such change tends to be "infrequent, discontinuous, and intentional (and to occur as). .. the result of a growing misalignment between an inertial deep structure and perceived environmental demands" (p. 365). With recent surges in technological developments, increased channeling of venture capital into a plethora of new projects, globalization trends, and companies' attempts to retain their competitive edge through mergers, downsizing, and restructuring schemes, episodic organizational change is ubiquitous, paradoxically becoming the nearly only stable fixture of organizational reality. From the employees' perspective, episodic organizational change incorporates threat, as well as challenge. The threat arises from the fact that change often upsets employees' understanding of how things work, or what they mean
