The Role of Age and Tenure as Moderators of Relationship Organizational Climate and Readiness for Change in Indonesian Air Force

摘要

With changing times come technological changes. Not only civil society but also military organizations experience the effects. The Indonesian Air Force is a military organization that requires technology to quickly anticipate changes that occur. This study aims to explore the influence of organizational climate on readiness for change as moderated by age and tenure. Data were obtained from 144 respondents consisting of soldiers and civil servants of the Indonesian Air Force. The instruments for this study include the Organizational Climate Scale and Readiness for Change Scale. The results show that there is a positive and significant effect between organizational climate and readiness for change (β = 0.374, p < 0.01), there is a positive and significant effect on the relationship between organizational climate and readiness for change that is moderated by age (R = 0.029, p < 0.05); there is also a significant and positive effect on the relationship of organizational climate and readiness for change that is moderated by the tenure (R = 0.021, p > 0.05). There is no significant effect on the relationship between organizational climate and readiness for change that is moderated by age and tenure (p>0.05). This finding is useful for organizations to discover how much readiness for change occurs within the Indonesian Air Force so that organizations can provide appropriate interventions when age and tenure affect the readiness for change of soldiers.
