The objective of this study was to find out the impact of employees organizational commitment
on readiness for change during the change process. The study was carried out among the
teaching and non-teaching staff of Higher Education Institutions, (HEIs) of Karachi. The
sample comprised of 168 respondents from various HEIs of Karachi including Private and
public sector organizations. To assess the employees readiness for change the scale of (Kwahk
and Lee, 2008) and for organizational commitment “Three component model” of Meyer and
Allen (1997) and scales of (Hersovitch and Meyer, 2002) were used. Structural Equation
Modeling (SEM) technique was used to find out the results of the analysis which suggested
Affective (AC) and Continuance commitment (CC) have a significant influence on the
readiness for change whereas, normative commitment (NC) do not significantly influence the
employees readiness for change in institutions of higher education. This study is one of the
first to empirically establish a relationship between change readiness behaviors among the
employees of the HEIs of Karachi, Pakistan. One of the important theoretical contributions of
the study is that the three-component model which has been empirically tested in various
socio-economic settings in the Western context and in a Pakistani public sector organization
may also be employed in the Higher education sector of Pakistan, which helps in
understanding the change related behavior of the employees with respect to policy making and
adaptability to the new and updated requirements of the academia including curriculum,
assessment methodology and others.
