- Abstract
- Successful implementations of in-house changes are crucial for organizations in order to adapt to the ever-changing economic and technological environment. Nevertheless, too often change initiatives fall short because of employees’ reactions regarding these changes. Employees’ perceptions of readiness for change have been revealed as a critical determinant of successful change implementations. It is considered as a major advancement in change literature. Preliminary empirical findings have recently demonstrated that justice perceptions foster readiness for change. Although research has steadily evidenced that justice perceptions are a substantial factor of a wide range of positive attitudes and behaviors at work, very little attention has been given to the influence of justice on readiness for change. This dissertation is dedicated to the examination of the relationship between justice and readiness for change. More precisely, it aims at confirming the impact of justice on readiness for change and exploring the characteristics of the relationship between these two key concepts, by addressing three fundamental questions: (1) how does justice influence readiness for change? (2) who, by means of fair treatment, influence readiness for change? (3) when does justice affect readiness for change? Based on three empirical studies, the present dissertation provides answers to these questions. Furthermore, it discusses theoretical implications, including the application of the fairness heuristic theory in change settings, and managerial implications, by outlining concrete means to enhance the chance of successful changes in organizations.
