Karim Said et al., « Perceptual drivers for individual readiness for change in question », Management & Prospective, ID : 10670/1.u47385
This paper aims to examine the issue of individual readiness for change. Based on a quantitative survey of 241 employees from Europe, Africa, the Arab Gulf and India, we first analyze the impact of personal determinants such as age, level of education and hierarchical position on employees’ individual readiness for change. Second, we examine the moderating effect of personal contingency factors, such as nationality, trust in leadership and employees’ involvement in the change process, on the relationship between personal determinants and individual readiness to change.Finally, we discuss the key role of these moderating factors as catalysts of individual readiness for change with regard to organizational development theories and change management practices.
