Transformational Leadership in Improving HR Performance with Employee Readiness to Change as a Mediating Variable

Zanuar Cahyo Wibowo

Abstract


Abstract.The transformation of the Indonesian National Police is a major effort to respond to the challenges of changing times, where technology, social dynamics, and community needs are growing rapidly. This process includes modernizing the managerial system, strengthening information technology, and improving the quality of public services that are more transparent and responsive. One important aspect of this transformation is the reform of the work culture within the Indonesian National Police, which requires police members to be more professional, have integrity, and be able to adapt to existing changes. In this way, the Indonesian National Police are expected to be able to maintain public security and order while building stronger public trust. The readiness of police personnel is the key to success in undergoing this transformation. Without adequate readiness, change will only stop at the policy level without real implementation. This will strengthen public trust and ensure that the police remain relevant as an institution that serves the community. In the context of the transformation of the Indonesian National Police, transformational leaders have the ability to recognize and support the readiness of personnel in facing change. Employee readiness to changeis the level of employee readiness and willingness to accept, support, and adapt to changes in the organization. This study is to test the hypothesis with the intention of validating or strengthening the hypothesis, with the hope of strengthening the theory that is the basis of the research. In connection with this, the type of research applied is "Explanatory research" or research that is explanatory in nature.
