This article examines the role of organizational identification as an antecedent of readiness for change utilizing a social identity perspective. A study is presented that uses longitudinal data from a survey of employee attitudes conducted in a German organization that went through a change process (N = 166). In line with the hypotheses, readiness for change mediates the relationship between organizational identification and a positive evaluation of the change outcomes one year later. Perceived culture of change and coping with change moderate the relationship between organizational identification and readiness for change: a positive culture of change and more resources for coping strengthen the positive relationship between organizational identification and readiness for organizational change.
