A study is presented that uses longitudinal data from a survey of employee attitudes conducted in a German organization that went through a change process (Nā€‰=ā€‰166). In line with the hypotheses, readiness for change mediates the relationship between organizational identification and a positive evaluation of the change outcomes one year later. Perceived culture of change and coping with change moderate the relationship between organizational identification and readiness for change: a positive culture of change and more resources for coping strengthen the positive relationship between organizational identification and readiness for organizational change UR - https://doi.org/10.1080/14697017.2011.652377 ER -
