Abstract: This study investigated employee perceptions toward organizational change and development within Cipla Ltd, a prominent pharmaceutical organization. The research addressed a pressing managerial concern regarding limited empirical understanding of employee attitudes during continuous organizational transformation. It pursued objectives encompassing perception assessment, factor analysis, and examination of relationships with job satisfaction. The study additionally sought to generate practical suggestions supporting HR managers within the organization. A quantitative research design guided the investigation, employing a structured, closed-ended questionnaire administered to one hundred employees. Purposive sampling ensured respondent relevance to the research objectives concerning change and development perceptions. Key variables examined included communication, employee involvement, leadership support, training adequacy, and resource availability. Statistical tools, including frequency analysis, regression, and analysis of variance, facilitated rigorous empirical examination of collected data. Findings revealed generally favourable, though variable, employee perceptions toward organizational change and development at Cipla Ltd. A significant relationship emerged between change management practices and employee job satisfaction, alongside noTable 4. variation across job levels. These findings carried important implications for strategic HR practice, emphasising communication, leadership development, and resource allocation. The study ultimately contributed valuable, context-specific insights supporting evidence-based organizational decision-making within pharmaceutical enterprises.
