Based on the context of organizational change,this study focuses on five firms with TMT Faultlines as research objects,adopts exploratory multiple case study method and applies grounded theory to construct a model of the activation processes and activation patterns of TMT Faultlines in organizational change.The research results indicate that under the background of organi-zational change,TMT faultlines involve three types:interest related faultlines,authority characteris-tic faultlines and information cognitive faultlines.The activation processes of the three are reflected in the fact that the composition factors and structure factors of TMT can lead to the subgroup classifica-tion of members under the intensification of contextual factors,thereby activating the faultlines.There are certain differences in the conditional basis and situational dynamics of faultlines activation a-mong the three,with a focus on interest factors,resource factors and information factors driving the faultlines activation processes.Different types of faultlines can interact with each other,resulting in significant differences in the strength of faultlines among different TMT.Depending on the degree of differentiation among executive members,three activation patterns are summarized,they are steady pattern,differentiated pattern and intensified pattern.
