Research has revealed that most organizational change initiatives fail to be implemented completely. In addition, practicing managers have frequently stated that they are continually surprised by the amount of resistance expressed by employees as change is being introduced in an organization. Organizational development and change (ODC) researchers have proposed that there are several antecedents which may affect an employee's acceptance or rejection of an ODC initiative. Recent ODC researchers have suggested that leadership communication is one of these key antecedents and that there is evidence it may have a direct effect on how an employee perceives their occupational environment, which includes organizational change. This more recent research attempts to understand what connects the relationship between leadership communication and an employee's affective mechanisms to cope with the ODC initiative and the psychological mechanisms which act upon it. This dissertation will discuss the human cognitive processes which affect the change recipient's appraisal of an organizational change initiative from the perspective of Social Cognitive Appraisal (Zigarmi et al. 2009). Additional, it will examine the meditating effect of affective appraisal on the relationship between leadership communication and commitment to change. By doing so, this dissertation will; 1) examine the relationship between leadership communication and commitment to change; 2) examine the mediating effect of affective appraisal on the relationship between leadership communication and commitment to change; and 3) Provide support for social cognitive appraisal. In order to achieve these goals, this dissertation also explores the relationship between human attitude theory (McGuire, 1969), appraisal theory of emotions (Lazarus, 1991) and current ODC theory (Oreg et al., 2011), by linking human behavioral responses to workplace intentions with regards to organizational changes. This dissertation provides evidence for affective appraisal mediation process along with showing that an appropriately crafted leadership communication strategy can affect both an employee's feelings towards change and their willingness to provide discretionary effort towards its success.
