Abstract
Purpose: This study investigates how employees' focus adjustment and psychological capital influence their support for organizational change in Internet companies. It also examines the moderating effect of organizational support climate on these relationships. Research design, data and methodology: A survey was administered to 246 employees working in Internet companies. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to identify the relationships among focus adjustment, psychological capital, organizational support climate, and change support behaviors. Results: The results show that promotional focus adjustment positively affects employees’ change support behaviors. Facilitative focus regulation enhances psychological capital, which in turn positively influences change support behaviors. Psychological capital also mediates the relationship between facilitative focus regulation and change support behaviors. Moreover, organizational support climate moderates the effect of psychological capital on change support, enhancing the likelihood of positive change behaviors. Conclusions: The findings highlight the importance of both psychological capital and organizational support climate in encouraging change support behaviors. Leaders should tailor strategies to stimulate employees' facilitative focus adjustment and ensure sufficient resources to enhance psychological capital, especially in supportive organizational climates, to foster effective change management.
