Tipe Kepribadian Dan Komitmen Pegawai Dalam Mendukung Perubahan Yang Ada Dalam Perusahaan

In spite of the financial advantages, previous research shows that organizational restructuring is often associated with highly psychological and social cost. This present study examined the relations of dispositional factors, positive and negative affect (PA and NA), to employees’ commitment towards change after the organizational restructuring in Indonesian context. The participants of this study included 179 employees from 7 divisions of the largest telecommunication company in Indonesia. Hierarchical Regression Analysis procedures generally indicated that PA was positively related to development of both affective and normative commitment to change. NA was negatively related to affective commitment to change. However, there was no significant relationship between individual affectivity and continuance commitment to change. The results suggest that individual factors still play important roles in changing situation after the restructuring although there are organizational factors that also play important roles in developing continuance commitment to change. Specifically, organizations would benefit from utilizing personality factors as a key selection for non managerial personnel.
