Abstract

Higher education institutions (HEIs) have been embracing digital transformation for years, but the disruptive influence of the global COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated it. Despite the importance of organizational culture (OC) for the successful delivery of e-learning, empirical studies looking at its impact on academics’ readiness and affective commitment to e-learning-induced changes are scant. This study unveils the underlying impacts of multiple employee readiness for change (ERFC) dimensions in the OC-employee affective commitment to change (EACC) relationship. Survey data were obtained from 1,200 Jordanian public HEIs’ academics. Structural equation modelling was used to analyze the data, testing the study’s six hypotheses. The findings offer a novel contribution by showing that OC types influence different dimensions of ERFC, each having a distinctive impact on EACC. It further shows that two ERFC dimensions, namely self-efficacy and personal valence, function as full mediators in the relationships between group culture/adhocracy culture and EACC.

新冠肺炎大流行期间组织文化和对电子学习变革的情感承诺：变革准备的潜在影响

高等教育机构（HEI）多年来一直在接受数字化转型，但全球新冠肺炎疫情的破坏性影响加速了数字化转型。尽管组织文化（OC）对成功提供电子学习很重要，研究其对学术界对电子学习引发的变化的准备程度和情感承诺的影响的实证研究很少。本研究揭示了多个员工变革准备度（ERFC）维度对OC员工变革情感承诺（EACC）关系的潜在影响。调查数据来自1200名约旦公立高等学校的学者。结构方程模型被用来分析数据，检验研究的六个假设。这些发现提供了一个新的贡献，表明OC类型影响ERFC的不同维度，每个维度对EACC都有不同的影响。研究进一步表明，ERFC的两个维度，即自我效能和个人效价，在群体文化/adhoocracy文化与EACC之间的关系中起着完全的中介作用。
