Abstract
A survey conducted by The World Economic Forum in 2017 has reported that a bureaucratic inefficiency is a barrier in supporting ease of doing business. In Indonesia, delayering in the bureaucratic structure has been one of the strategic initiatives to increase the speed of service and decision-making. This initiative resulted in the abolition of middle-level management positions and replacement with specialist positions. Accordingly, this study highlights the level of individual readiness in dealing with delayering organization structure through evaluating the effect of learning culture on individual readiness to change. This study will also examine the mediating role of organizational commitment to accelerate individual readiness to respond to change. The aim of this study to provide input from an academic perspective which has further managerial implications in identifying and formulating change strategies in bureaucratic organizational environments. Quantitative research through self-administered questionnaires has been used in this study where the researcher administered quetionaries to more than 200 of civil servants who served in middle-level management positions at the Directorate General of Treasury of the Ministry of Finance and potentially have to experience delayering. The findings reveal that learning culture has positive impact on the conformation of individual readiness to change.
