Abstract :The purpose of this paper is to examine factors that influence organisational change and  the nature of relationship that exists between them in order to lead to favourable outcome (s) of change for organisations. This paper adopts a critical approachto identify  the relationship between organisation culture, leadership, human resource practices  and organisational change management. The extended literature review indicates the  need to create and encourage positive relationships between factors that influence  organisational change. The conceptual model that emerged from this paper leads to five  propositions which emphasised that positive relationships do exist between influencing  factors of organisational change management. Creating and maintaining quality and  positive relationships between factors that influence organisational changemay not only  be daunting to maintain and sustain throughout change process, but challenging to  create in specific organisations and countries.
