Abstract: The successful implementation of organizational change has become an important management task, given that countless companies fail to implement organizational changes successfully in recent decades. Further, there has been a lack of empirical research on the role of transformational leadership in a change context per se. In this regard, the present study aims to fill this gap by conducting an empirical research in hopes of contributing to a better understanding of the inner workings of employees ’ supportive attitudes and behavior toward change by investigating the relationship between transformational leadership and employee’s behavioral support for organizational change. The results from a sample of 448 respondents in Taiwan provide additional insight into the mechanism through which transformational leadership influences behavioral support for organizational change. Key words: Transformational leadership; self-efficacy; affective commitment to change; behavioral support for change. 1.
