Abstract
This study aims to analyze the effect of change communication on worker’s resistance to change mediated by perceived organizational justice, in a manufacturing company in Indonesia. This company has been undergoing organizational change for the past two years. Data from 260 respondents were collected using survey method and then analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The result showed that change communication has negative and significant effect on resistance to change and positive and significant effect on perceived organizational justice. Moreover, perceived organizational justice has negative and significant effect on resistance to change, and the effect of communication on resistance to change is partially mediated by perceived organizational justice. This research corroborates the previous research that states change communication and organizational justice play an important role in minimizing resistance to change.
