Abstract

The main objective of this article is to conduct an empirical and exploratory study on the effects of organizational climate and creative work involvement on readiness for organizational change to shed light on the readiness of the board members, professional managers, and other employees of the Turkish shipbuilding sector for the trend of organizational change, the frequency of which is increasing rapidly on both a global and national basis, in order to achieve sustainable success within the framework of sustainable development. To investigate the impact of organizational climate and creative work involvement on readiness for organizational change, Turkish shipbuilding companies and leading ship design service providers were surveyed. The results showed that organizational climate and creative work involvement positively and significantly affect readiness for organizational change, where organizational climate and creative work involvement reflected the most significant positive effects, respectively, on the management support and change efficacy subdimensions of readiness for organizational change. The contribution to the literature lies in the unique approach to this relation, which has not been explored in previous studies. This research opens up a new direction for empirical research on readiness for organizational change by combining these concepts.
