Abstract

This study investigated responsible leadership influence on readiness for change in a South African state-owned enterprise. A quantitative research approach was used to conduct a cross-sectional study with a stratified random sample of employees in a South African state-owned enterprise. Participants completed the Responsible Leadership Scale (RLS) and the Readiness for Change Scale (RTCS). Standardised multiple regression analysis was used to analyse the influence of responsible leadership on readiness for change. The results showed that responsible leadership relates positively and significantly to readiness for change. Furthermore, responsible leadership influences willingness to change. This study emphasises the important role of responsible leadership in readiness for change. In addition, understanding the influence of responsible leadership on readiness for change can provide insight into the inner motives that drive teachers in difficult situations. The study can serve as a basis to increase staff readiness for change. Key Words:Responsible leadership, Readiness towards change, Social exchange theory, South African state-owned enterprise
