Enhancing Organizational Change Readiness in Higher Education: The Role of Contextual Culture and Learning Capabilities

This study investigates the role of contextual culture capability and learning capability in driving organizational capability change in higher education.A survey of 50 faculty members was conducted using SEM analysis.The results reveal that learning capability positively influences capability change, explaining 68.5% of variance.However, contextual culture capability had no significant impact.The findings have important practical implications for developing learning capabilities to improve change readiness in higher education.Theoretically, the study addresses gaps in applying organizational capability literature specifically to higher education context.It provides empirical evidence on the role of learning capability in capability change.Further research should explore cultural factors inhibiting change in academic institutions and investigate capability change from multistakeholder perspectives.This study yields valuable insights to inform policies and strategies for capability development in higher education aiming to achieve world-class status.
