“…Trivette and Raab (2011) for example, found that variations in staffs' receptiveness to the classroom practices constituting the focus of training described in this paper was the best predictor of adoption and use of the practices. The findings, taken together, suggest that variations in readiness to change may be a factor contributing to variations in receptiveness to training (Choi & Ruona, 2013;Peterson, 2012;Peterson & Baker, 2011).…”

Factors associated with Head Start staff participation in a classroom-based professional development project to promote their use of evidence-based child learning opportunity practices and evidence-based responsive teaching procedures were examined in a study of 36 teachers and teacher assistants in 19 different classrooms. The factors constituting the focus of investigation included work climate, staff belief appraisals (career aspirations, personal motivation, Developmentally Appropriate Practices beliefs), staff receptiveness to the professional development training, staff judgments of the social validity of the practices constituting the focus of training, and staff background characteristics (age, education, years of experience). Results showed that Head Start staff members' personal beliefs, receptiveness to the training, and their judgments of the social validity of the classroom practices constituting the focus of training were related to staff judgments of their participation in the training which in turn were related to their active engagement in learning to use the classroom practices. The implications of the findings for practice are described in terms of the need to use methods and procedures that actively engage staff in professional development opportunities.

“…Muutokseen liittyvien kielteisten tunteiden vä hentämiseksi on tunnistettu useita erilai sia stra tegioita, muun muassa kouluttamisen, riittävän viestinnän, osallistamisen ja neuvottelukulttuu rin omaksumisella voidaan vähentää muutos vastarintaa, mutta myös kasvattaa keinoja yksi löiden muutosvalmiuden luomiseksi (Kotter & Schlesinger 1979). Merkittävin ero näiden kä sitteiden välillä on se, että muutosvastarinnas ta puhuttaessa yksilöstä puhutaan muutoksen vastaanottajana, kun taas muutosvalmiudessa yksilöllä on aktiivisempi rooli muutoksen koke misessa (Choi & Ruona 2011).…”

Recent studies have highlighted the importance of managers’ role in change. Managers are a lynchpin in the success of a change as they stand closest to employees and they are both implementing change but also being affected by change. In this study, we explore managers´ readiness of change. Readiness of change refers to what employees perceive as the balance between costs and benefits of maintaining a behavior. In practice, it is about psychological willingness to cooperate in bringing the change to fruition. We interviewed 19 managers in public sector organizations. The findings indicate that strong change readiness of managers requires organizational support, time resources for people management and participative organizational culture. Study highlights the individual experience and interpretation of meaningfulness of change. This can be achieved by communicating the consequences and benefits of change clearly and by engaging managers in change already in the early phase.

Involvement of community health workers (CHWs) within task-sharing to bridge the mental health treatment gap has been proven to be efficacious in randomized controlled trials. The impact of mental health programs based on task-sharing paradigm greatly depends on the performance of CHWs which, in-turn, is influenced by their readiness for change. However, there is dearth of literature assessing the role of readiness for change as an important predicator of CHW performance. The aim of this study is to examine the applicability of the readiness for change model and investigate its cultural and contextual nuances among Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs), a cadre of CHWs in India, to understand their engagement in mental health task-sharing. We conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of n = 12 key informants including ASHAs and other healthcare professionals in Sehore district, India. The interview guide consisted of open-ended questions based on the readiness for change factors including ASHAs' attitudes towards their role in mental health care, perception of capability to implement mental health task-sharing, of support from the public health system, etc. Framework analysis with a combined inductive-deductive approach was employed to code the data and generate themes. Participants endorsed three readiness for change themes relevant to task-sharing among ASHAs including change valence or value ascribed to task-sharing, change-efficacy or the perceived ability to implement task-sharing, and job valence or value ascribed to their regular job role. In addition, they provided insights into the culturally and contextually salient aspects of these factors. Themes of personal empowerment, gaining respect and trust from community, professional duty, relationship with supervisors, and lack of resources availability were majorly highlighted. This is the first study to qualitatively investigate the applicability of the readiness for change model and its culture-and context-specific nuances among a cadre of non-specialist health workers in India. Our findings posit that implementation science models should strongly consider the culture and context within which they are being applied to enhance fit and relevance. Further, our results should be taken into consideration to adapt and validate measurement tools and build readiness for change in this population.
