A Review On Readiness For Change

This article reviews the literature on employees’ readiness for change. It is crucial for an organisation to understand employees’ readiness for the organisational change instead of focusing on resistance to change since it can be more useful for implementing effective human resource practices and organisation development interventions. In this review article, the concept of individual readiness for organisational change as well as its relationship with the four categories of antecedents, which are internal context, change content, process and individual attributes are reviewed. This paper also highlights some of the issues and research areas that can be considered for future studies.
