Readiness for organizational change scale: The adaptation and validation of the Indonesian version

Abstract

This study aimed to adapt and validate the Readiness for Organizational Change Scale by Holt et al. in the Indonesian version. A total of 222 participants in this study were line and middle managers of state-owned cement manufacturing companies in Indonesia that were undergoing changes in restructuring and efficiency. Data were collected by online questionnaires through email. The adaptation process was guided by the International Test Commission (ITC). Validation was obtained through content validity based on the Aiken formula. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and convergent validity were conducted through Pearson correlation. The Indonesian version of the Readiness for Organizational Change scale showed promising results. The Content Validity using the Aiken validity value indicates that the items had good values (0.80–0.95). The CFA results also meet the goodness of fit indicators at χ2/df, which are RMSEA, CFI, NFI, RFI, AGFI, and GFI. Construct Reliability (CR) and Average Variance Extracted (AVE) on the dimensions were Appropriateness (CR=0.94, AVE=0.61), Managerial Support (CR=0.92, AVE=0.67), Change Efficacy (CR=0.89, AVE=0.59), and Personal Valence (CR=0.80, AVE=0.57). The convergent validity test reported that RFOC and its dimensions had a positive correlation with PsyCap and OCB, along with all their aspects. The Indonesian version of the Readiness for Organizational Change scale had good psychometric properties and evidence of validity, especially for employees in state-owned enterprises. © 2026 Kasetsart University.
