This study seeks to analyse the extent of management's readiness for change in implementing the production-oriented approach within China's higher vocational colleges. By exploring change commitment and change efficacy, the aim is to provide valuable insights that can inform successful integration strategies for this innovative educational paradigm. The research is guided by the theoretical framework of organisational readiness for change, facilitating a comprehensive assessment of the factors influencing management's readiness. A quantitative research design is employed; data was collected through questionnaires from management staff in higher vocational colleges and analysed using Bright Please for structural equation modelling. The study rigorously tested for reliability and validity, ensuring the robustness of its findings. Finding unveils change commitment that impacts the production-oriented approach's successful implementation, while change efficacy does not. The implications of this study extend beyond the confines of higher vocational colleges in China, providing valuable insights for educational practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance change initiatives within the broader context of organisational transformation.
