Assessing the impact of transformational leadership, overall justice on individual readiness for change through perceived organizational support: Test of moderating role of perceived organizational competence

Abstract

Readiness for change is one of the success elements for a change. The goal of this study is to see how transformational leadership, overall justice, perceived organizational support and perceived organizational competence affect individual readiness for change. The participants in this study were government employees (N = 542) who are experiencing major organizational restructuring. CFA analysis was utilized to examine the appropriateness of the study model. Hayes (2018) method was used to determine the perceived organizational support mediation impact and the moderating effect of perceived organizational competence. According to the findings, perceived organizational support fully mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and individual readiness for change. Aside from that, perceived organizational support fully mediates the impact of overall justice on individual readiness for change. Another finding was perceived organizational competence operates as a mediated moderation between overall justice and transformational leadership on readiness for change through perceived organizational support.
