Keywords:
Change Management, Adaptive Leadership, Employee Performance, Moderating Variable, SEM-PLSAbstract
This study was motivated by the suboptimal employee performance during the organizational change process at PT XYZ. The objectives of this study were to examine the effect of change management on employee performance, the effect of adaptive leadership on employee performance, and the moderating role of adaptive leadership in the relationship between change management and employee performance. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method involving 32 employees selected through a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4. The results indicate that change management has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Adaptive leadership also has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Furthermore, adaptive leadership significantly moderates the relationship between change management and employee performance. These findings suggest that the implementation of effective change management, supported by adaptive leadership, can enhance employee performance more optimally at PT XYZ.References
