Research will develop influential factors in increasing an organization^s readiness for change. The research will examine and analyze the influence of organizational culture, empowering leadership, and technology on organizational readiness for change both directly and through the mediating role of organizational commitment in accordance with the conceptual framework and empirical model prepared.
