Change Readiness: A Multilevel Review
The authors conducted a theoretical review of the change readiness literature and identified two
major limitations with this work. First, while there is substantial agreement about the key cognitions
that underlie change readiness, researchers have not examined the affective element of this
attitude. Second, researchers have not adopted a multilevel perspective when considering
change readiness. The authors address these limitations and argue that it is important to incorporate
affect into definitions of the change readiness construct and also when measuring this
construct. They then develop a multilevel framework that identifies the antecedents and consequences
of individual, work group, and organizational change readiness. Next, the authors
outline the theoretical processes that lead to the development of individual and collective
change readiness. They then review theoretical and empirical evidence to identify the antecedents
of change readiness at the three levels of analysis. Finally, the authors identify a number
of suggestions to guide future research seeking to adopt a multilevel approach to change
readiness.
