Abstract

This paper presents the scale created by authors for determining employees' attitudes towards changes (employees’ attitude towards changes - EATC) and its psychometric characteristics. The results of the research, which includes staff from three state colleges from three countries (N = 222) are also analyzed. The aim of this research is by comparing the attitudes of employees of different post- Soviet state colleges to identify the main challenges that heads of organizations face. The results of the research show that there is a certain gap between the benefits of changes which employees perceive, and their coworkers expressed perception of changes. It should be emphasized that the internal opposition, created by direct (linear) heads, emerges as a significant organizational problem that should be considered by the organizational leadership implementing the changes.
