1. Introduction Change is usually studied and planned process for a long time, and such change focuses on the plans, policies, organizational structure, organizational behavior, organizational culture, performance technology, procedures , methods and working conditions, in order to achieve harmonization and adapt to changes in the internal and external environment for the survival , continued development and excellence, (Idris, 2001). Change is required for public and private organizations, whether in the behavior of individuals, organizational structure or performance systems and technology, and that the change is required to adapt to the surrounding environment, (Mustafa, .2000). It is normal to find many individuals who resist change, because change is related to the present situation and existing methods accepted for the performance of the business ,whereas change included surprises and sudden events , and few people who like surprises, so it is necessary to create a sense of the need for change. Change does not happen by itself, it is imperative to form coalition for leading the change, and it is better to entrust this task to a homogeneous team to be formed from individuals who believe in change and its necessity and who are ready to realize it, (Qaryouti.2008). Individuals are the ones who determine the goals and policies .and put plans and programs, they are in charge of the design of the organization and are distributing roles, powers and responsibilities. The individuals are working to take advantage of the available resources, guidance and rational use, in order to make the institution benefit from such changes; also they are the actual performers of many business and tasks which cannot be performed by machine. Irbid National University is considered one of the leading scientific institutions in Jordan, where it is one of the ancient scientific institutions with long experience in Jordan. Irbid National University is one of private institutions that carried out different changes including the organizational structure and its personnel.
2. Problem Of The Study Each change process has its results and implications. the most important results that process of change seeks to realize are the achievement of a positive change, Irbid National University has graduated students with high efficiency and good potentials to serve the community , through educational , recreational and health services provided to students through its employees .The role of the University's management lies in seeking to make the change systematically by which University convince the personnel importance of the role of the process of change to reach the desired goals. Irbid National University has experienced a set of changes whether in the organizational structure, changes in technology or changes in its personnel. The problem of the current study lies in answering the question: What is the impact of change management on the performance of employees at Irbid National University?

5. Hypotheses Of The Study H1: There is a statistically significant relationship at the 0.05 level of significance between the change in the organizational structure and performance of employees. H2: There is a statistically significant relationship at the 0.05 level of significance between the change in technology and the performance of employees. H3: There is a statistically significant relationship at the 0.05 level of significance between the change in individuals and the performance of employees. H4: There is a statistically significant relationship at the 0.05 level of significance between the responses of the respondents attributed to the demographic and organizational variables (gender, age, years of service, qualification).
6. Theoretical Framework In organizations, change must be purposefully planned, and not a change just to change, where change can include inputs, operations and outputs, and also includes strategic planning in terms of the mission, goals, strategies and policies relating to the management of human resources, marketing , production operations or financial management, (Mustafa. 2000). Change management operates within a certain social reality and under specific administrative climate and social conditions governed by habits, and controlled by traditions, restricted by limitations and controls, and perhaps the most dangerous of these restrictions is the structure of values and prevailing social trends, as well as the prevailing structure of legislations and morals systems declared by the members of the community. These restrictions and limitations represent often difficulties to overcome obstacles, and this needs special skills to deal with. (Khudhairi, 2003). Lami (2007) identified change as "the adoption of a new idea or behavior by the organization where organizational change emphasizes the restructuring of resources and possibilities to increase capacity, to create value and improve the benefits acquired by the stakeholders in the organization." The researchers argue that the change is "imposing deliberate adjustments in any element of organizational elements in order to achieve specific goals". It is clear that change is the process of setting deliberate adjustments after the identification of the external environment to identify the changes took place in such environment, as well as the study of the internal environment of the organization to identify the problems that require intervention. Change may include the process of modifying any element of the organization, whether the organization's mission, strategy, goals, organizational structure, technology, or individuals or modifying all the elements of the organization as a comprehensive change. As for change management ,it has been identified by Al-Otaibi ( 2002) as "It is the management approach that monitors the indicators of change in the environment of business organization and to sort those indicators that have relationships with the activity of the organization as priorities in order to adjust and adapt those departments ,in terms of their practice , to the functions of the administrative process with variables expected to improve their performance and behavior."
6.1 The Areas Of Change In response to external variables, management, in both public and private organizations, includes one or some of the following areas of change: (Mustafa. 2000): Changing the mission, objectives or strategy of the organization: The mission of the organization includes the objective beyond its existence and areas of its activity, as well as the types of products and target market. The change of this mission shall be carried out in order to keep abreast of changes that create opportunities that require to be properly used, or that may impose some restrictions that require minimizing one activity or more. In fact it is normal that the change in the mission leads to a change in other related objectives of such mission, and accordingly a change will take place in the strategy of the organization.

second The change in the philosophy and manner of resource allocations will be required, either as a result of changing the mission, goals and strategies, or independently in order to adapt the resources and the rationalization of consumption, which contributes to the attainment of the objectives and reduces cost, improves quality and increases productivity. The third Change in management systems performance: Change may take place in the system of selection and appointment in order to ensure the safety of choosing of the elements appropriate to the requirements of jobs and appointing appropriate managements performance assessment system may be subject to change in order to create a fair assessment of the performance of each employee, and in order to avoid managers' errors such as bias and forgetfulness as well as to avoid the deficiencies of models used to assess performance. The fourth one was Technological change is to create knowledge, methods or new technical equipment used in production processes, which contribute to improving the production, cost reduction or increased productivity. Technological change may take several forms, such as the transformation of mechanical equipment to be automatic, or the introduction of equipment, tools or new methods of work, or the density of human workforce .Change in technology may include the internal arrangement of the work site so as not to be a random arrangement, but in a way that saves time, effort and speed performance. The other area was the organizational structure is the "construction or framework which defines the internal structure of the organization, as it shows the organizational divisions and sub-units required to achieve the objectives of the organization, as it also demonstrates the quality of relationships between departments , authority ,competences and communication networks in such organization" (Bakri, 2005). The final area was changing the personnel working at organization: Individuals are considered the vital and important element in the organization because they represent the dynamic element, and therefore, change should focus on individuals for the purpose of their development, which can be carried out through individuals' understanding and awareness of their behavior and personalities, and then working on their development in order to suit the needs and roles of the organization. The effectiveness and the efficiency of the change associate directly with the extent to which the employees working in the organization contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the organization, where the contribution of these individuals would enhance the constant success of the effectiveness of ,taking into account that the lack of response by individuals working in organization will lead to the obstruction of the continuing performance of the organization and its ability to work, (Hammoud, 2002).
6.2
Factors Of Successful Change
The following factors shall be available for the individuals working at an organization in order to increase the success opportunity of change, including the following ( Dorra , 1986) The availability of the general climate that accepts change, the support and of administrative leaders in the organization, as the support of change efforts ensures the achievements of the desired goals. the availability of the leaders who have human , mental and technical skills associated with change will help them to form a comprehensive vision for change and its rules , and to focus on groups more than focus on individuals , where the standards , values and expectations of the groups in organizations have clear effect on the behavior of individuals .Other factor includes the diagnosis of the organization in a scientific manner , as well as the diagnosis of change resistance factors, and how to deal with them , as well as the availability of human , technical and material resources that create change and help in implementing it. Performance indicates to the degree of achievement and the completion of one's function tasks .Performance reflects the manner by which an individual meets the requirements of a position (a job), for example, a student who is making a great effort to prepare for the exam, but he gets low grades, and in such case, the effort is high while performance is low, (Mohammed.2001). Performance indicates to the degree of achievement and the completion of one's function tasks .Performance reflects the manner by which an individual meets the requirements of a position (Hasan, 2000). As for performance evaluation it was identified by Salem and Saleh (2002) as "a periodic process for measuring the strengths and weaknesses of the efforts of the individual, and the behaviors that are exercised in a certain position in order to achieve a specific goal which has been planned by the organization in advance.

11. Examination Of Hypotheses H1: There is a statistically significant relationship between the change in the organizational structure and performance of employees. This hypothesis was examined by a model as shown in Tables (6,7) where it was statistically significant ,where p=.000,R=0.589,and R*2=0.347.Since p is less than 0.05 ,there is a statistically significant relationship between the change in the organizational structure and performance of employees, and thus it is accepted. H2: There is a statistically significant relationship between the change in technology and the performance of employees. This hypothesis was examined by a model as shown in Tables (8,9) where it was statistically significant ,where p=.000,R=0.658,and R*2=0.433.Since p is less than 0.05 ,there is a statistically significant relationship between the change in technology and performance of employees, and thus it is accepted. H3: There is a statistically significant relationship between the change in individuals and the performance of employees. This hypothesis was examined by a model as shown in Tables (10,11) where it was statistically significant, where p=.000,R=0.612, and R*2=0.374.Since p is less than 0.05, there is a statistically significant relationship between the change in individuals and performance of employees, and thus it is accepted. H4: There is a statistically significant relationship at the 0.05 level of significance between the responses of the respondents attributed to the demographic and organizational variables (gender, age, years of service, qualification).

The need to involve employees in decision-making, and take advantage of the ideas offered by the staff at the lower levels where they are better able to generate new ideas with regard to work and find out the problems faced by work ,and put the solutions to those problems. The need to deal positively with staff by management and to consider the human relations by appreciating the effort by workers, and to create a system of incentives to encourage workers. The need to focus on qualitative change in individuals through good training, motivation, and that is due to the strong relationship between the change in individuals and the performance of employees, as good training raises the skills and knowledge of workers as well as a good system of incentives promotes performance of the employees and thus they try to find creative ideas. The need to take advantage of the diversity of communication in the community, so as to be effective in the delivery of messages to the beneficiaries, as well as working to recruit informal lines of communication for the benefit of the work. The necessity of activating informal means of communication to communicate with staff and to find out glitches in the work, and get new ideas that could contribute to raise the efficiency of performance.
