| dc.description | Change, being a common phenomenon among modern organizations, though increasingly growing in pace, has been characterized with an alarmingly high rate of failure. Such failures are often attributed, among others, to leadership behavior and individual level human factors. However, empirical research on leadership behavior and individual employees’ attitude and behavior towards change is scarce. Specifically, there is scarcity of studies with respect to the link between transformational leadership behavior and both employees’ commitment to change and change-oriented organizational citizenship behavior. This study sought to address this research gap by examining the mediating role of psychological capital in the above relationships. The study was conducted based on self-reported questionnaire gathered from 446 sample respondents comprising professional employees, first-line and middle-level managers in three Ethiopian large public organizations that were undergoing major transformations during data collection. The study hypotheses were tested using AMOS Structural Equation Modeling. The results of the study showed that while transformational leadership was positively related to affective commitment to change and change-oriented organizational citizenship behavior; both relationships were mediated by psychological capital. Theoretically, the study contributes to the literature on organizational change and transformational leadership by providing support for (1) the direct relationship between transformational leadership behavior and employees’ proactive attitude and behavior towards organizational change, (2) the mediating role of the newly emerging positive psychological capital in the relationship between transformational leadership behavior and employees’ proactive attitude and behavior towards organizational change, and (3) the micro-level literature that examines leadership behavior and individual employees’ reaction towards organizational change. The study also provides leaders with a better insight on how to effectively tackle the widely prevalent failure of change initiatives. Specifically, the finding implies that although important, transformational leadership behavior is insufficient in attaining employees’ proactive attitude and behavior towards championing change; instead, leaders should develop the employees’ psychological capital.,PhD | - |
