Onyegbulas\u2019 doctoral research leverages his professional experience and explores ways of enhancing change management models by understanding the intrinsic and irrational motivational behaviours of individuals via cognitive and social psychology to drive the adoption of IT applications. He believes this will be relevant for change practitioners during IT system implementations. He intends to address this by leveraging a comparative analysis study and incorporating a qualitative approach, which will generate robust evidence. He intends to also leverage John P.
