Abstract

Research has been extensively discussed on individual’s readiness to change (IRC), and its effects differ in terms of leadership styles. We offer work methods dimension and the people dimension to overcome this gap. The paper seeks to examine the role of empowering leadership (EL), work methods dimension and the people dimension in enhancing IRC that will have an impact strategic behaviours. 257 civil servants are surveyed based on questionnaires and PLS-SEM is used for data analysis. However, the findings indicate that the association between EL and IRC is not mediated by quality of work methods (QWM), whereas the link between EL and IRC is mediated by quality of people (QP). Strategic role behaviour (SRB) for organizational performance is carried out when employees are ready to change.

Urgent Regarding ISSN Update

Announcement Date: April 20, 2021

Dear Authors and Researchers,
We would like to inform you that the U.S. ISSN Center at the Library of Congress has confirmed that the correct ISSN number of the Journal Psychology and Education is ISSN 1553-6939. This ISSN is to be used instead of ISSN 0033-3077 which is the ISSN that belongs to the former title, “Psychology.” Each time a journal undergoes a major change of title a new ISSN is assigned. Psychology and Education also has been assigned a Linking ISSN (ISSN-L). The ISSN-L is available for use when there is a need to identify and link to a continuing resource without regard to format, for example in services such as OpenURL, library catalogues, search engines or knowledge bases. The next issue of Psychology and Education will be published with ISSN 1553-6969. But the previous ISSN will be also available in the ISSN Portal to retrieve the record for Psychology because it remains the identifier for the former title Psychology and the articles published under that title.
