The impact of perceived leadership support on employee commitment-a longitudinal case of randstad

Abstract

This dissertation aims to examine how the perceived leadership support impacts employee commitment in an organizational change context. A survey (N=90) was distributed to Randstad Portugal’s employees, and the findings indicate that there are positive correlations between employees’ receptivity to organizational change and perceived leadership support, training opportunities, and variability in work tasks. This dissertation aims to develop the awareness about perceived leadership support and employees’ responsiveness to change in the context of organizational change, as well as examine their magnitude in affecting organizational change.
