Top management involvement appeared as the largest
coefficient for the impact on the acceptance level of
employees towards the planned change effort. It was an
expectation of this study that involvement of top
managers in the implementation process would be of the
most important to influence employees in the Malaysia
Airlines for the acceptance of the new initiative to
implement HRIS. Organizational commitment produced
the second largest coefficient in the analysis. Climatereward
and general job satisfaction did not impact
significantly on the employees’ acceptance of the new
HRIS. Based on the above analysis, it is apparent that
organizational commitment and top management
involvement are the most important predictors of
employees’ acceptance of any planned change effort in an
organization. It seems to be a direct conclusion that two
conditions should be present in order to enhance the
probability of employees to react positively by accepting
and embracing the change program initiated in the
organization.
