Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess the transposability of study results published in the Journal of Organizational Change Management (JOCM) and the Journal of Change Management (JCM) between 2000 and 2019 for change-management practitioners and researchers. Design/methodology/approach A systematic scoping review of a large sample of articles published in both journals was undertaken: 122 studies were considered for analysis and coded by two independent coders using an inductive grid. Findings Findings show that few studies (1) describe the nature of changes undertaken by organizations; (2) explain the contextual elements that characterize the environment at the moment when these same transformations are deployed; or (3) nuance their observations according to the change operation. Research limitations/implications Information on the type of change undertaken by the organization and about how change has been implemented is useful when communicating new scientific knowledge to practitioners. Nevertheless, the way in which studies are sometimes described masks some important nuances to be considered when interpreting or replicating certain results. Practical implications The relevance of these issues is enhanced by the fact that researchers or practitioners (as knowledge users) are likely to reproduce some of the actions carried out in previous studies in order to deepen research avenues or to facilitate the implementation of change initiatives in workplaces. Originality/value This research is among the first to assess the transferability of change-management study results published in both journals over such a long period. Its relevance also speaks to the importance of contextualizing results to ease their transposability by researchers and practitioners.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
