Our goal is to advance the understanding of how issues such as social exchanges with supervisors and team members influence employees' ability to cope with change. Investigations on the positive outcomes of more contextual factors such as social support on coping with change are relatively sparse ( Lawrence and Callan, 2011) yet are critical in understanding employee adjustment. ![]() Those researchers who have examined change at a micro level of analysis have identified individual differences such as personality characteristics ( Judge et al., 1999), commitment to change ( Herscovitch and Meyer, 2002 Nohe et al., 2013) and content-specific variables such as information about the change, participation in the change ( Wanberg and Banas, 2000) or perceptions of the human resource system ( Alfes et al., 2019 Neves et al., 2018) as potentially important contributors to an employee's ability to cope with change. Recognizing the value and importance of change, researchers have aggressively investigated organizational change at the macro level of analysis (see for example, Armenakis and Bedeian, 1999 Brown and Eisenhardt, 1997 Judge et al., 1999 Rafferty and Griffin, 2006), with less attention given to individual or micro-level differences such as employees' ability to cope with organizational change (see for example, Fugate et al., 2011 Judge and Kammeyer-Mueller, 2011 Kruglanski et al., 2007). In response to external conditions such as the recent pandemic, globalization, expanding markets and increased competition, organizations yearn to survive and gain a competitive edge during unremitting change. “It has been more profitable for us to bind together in the wrong direction than to be alone in the right one.” Nassem Nicholas Taleb, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable.
