“…The impact of leadership regarding employees' attitudes towards change is well documented in the military literature (Lyons et al 2009 ) and cannot be undervalued when implementing needed interventions in the workplace. In a military environment, this kind of "top cover" strongly expresses to all personnel that the leadership is committed to the intervention as well as the employees themselves.…”

“…People with high openness to change engage in supporting and implementing changes cognitively and affectively (Rafferty, Jimmieson, & Armenakis, ). Lyons, Swindler, and Offner () found that organizational members’ openness to change is a positive predictor of their intentions to engage in change activities, which leads to actual work engagement. In addition, several studies have shown that individuals with a more positive attitude toward change exhibit a higher degree of participation at work (Eby, Adams, Russell, & Gaby, ), organizational commitment, and job satisfaction (Holt, Armenakis, Feild, & Harris, ), all of which are constructs that potentially infer work engagement.…”

“…Various studies have recognized a crucial role of leadership in initiating changes and identifying and implementing relevant strategies and plans (Caldwell, Chatman, O'Reilly, Ormiston, & Lapiz, ; Lyons et al, ). Leaders are capable of facilitating followers’ behaviors and attitudes as they engage in, or commit to, efforts to make changes by providing a vision, creating a sense of urgency around the change, and supporting the change (Lyons et al, ). In particular, it was found that transformational leadership is significantly related to less resistance from followers to change and more commitment to change (Lyons et al, ).…”

This study examined the relationships of teachers' work engagement with their professionalism and openness to change and investigated the moderating role of the transformational leadership of principals in explaining these relationships. Multilevel data were collected from 1,886 teachers from 59 schools in South Korea, and multilevel path analysis was performed to analyze the data. The study results found that teachers' work engagement was positively influenced by their professionalism and openness to change in the Korean educational setting. However, no significant relationship was found between teachers' work engagement and the transformational leadership of principals. It also showed that the transformational leadership of principals positively moderated the relationship between work engagement and openness to change of teachers. Finally, we identified the negative moderating effect of the transformational leadership of principals on the relationship between work engagement and professionalism of teachers. The theoretical implications of these findings are provided along with practical suggestions for policy makers, superintendents, and teacher education institutes.

“…For example, if clients are found to be at the pre-contemplation stage, their awareness about the target behaviour needs to be raised. If they are at the intention stage, they require action-oriented training to convert their plans about behavioural adoption into practice (Lyons et al, 2009). It is suggested that potential, nascent and actual entrepreneurs react differently to the different intervention measures taken to enhance entrepreneurial activities (Klonek et al, 2014;Slater, 1999).…”

• Inculcating entrepreneurial behaviour is beneficial to both individuals and the society at large. The Theory of Planned Behaviour has been generally applied to understand and examine entrepreneurial behaviour. However, as the underpinnings of this theory are not adequate for understanding the entire process of the development of entrepreneurial behaviour, a more comprehensive theoretical framework is required. Combining the Theory of Planned Behaviour with the Stages of Change Theory provides such a comprehensive theoretical framework. The Stages of Change Theory is used in the social marketing field to facilitate behavioural change, which has also been recently applied in organizational-related studies, such as change management. A methodological and analytical approach is also suggested for empirically validating the framework developed in this study. The implications of this framework for theory and practice are discussed, as are directions for future research, which would be of use to researchers and practitioners in the social marketing field.
