Abstract :

Abstract The purpose of this study was to predict the readiness for organizational change of physical education staff in subordinate departments of the Education and Training Office of Tehran via psychological capital. The population was included of 200 staff in the Education and Training Office of Tehran, of which 187 people were recruited by simple random sampling using the Krejcie-Morgan table. Readiness for Organizational Change for Halt et al. (2007) and Luttanz Psychological Capital (2007) Questionnaires were used for collecting data. The internal consistency of the questionnaires was obtained by Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.82 and 0.86, respectively. The research data were analyzed by using IBM SPSS v.22 software and the Regression analysis approach. The results showed that all components of psychological capital, including self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience, predicted readiness for organizational change. Hence, in preparing for organizational change, the resilience component has effectively the most role, but in contrast, the optimism component has the least role. The current data highlight the importance of managers who are interested in the organizational advancement of their work through the readiness of employees for organizational change should pay attention to increasing the spirit of resilience, self-efficacy, hope, and optimism of the staff.
