Organizations to engage in strategic change initiatives to remain competitive. Leadership is the top determinant of successful change. This study investigated the factor affecting the employee’s openness to change during the process of change and how leadership affects that. We proposed a theoretical framework, modifying Yue et. al. (2019) by incorporating Authentic in place of transformational Leadership. We hypothesized that authentic leadership affects organizational trust during change both directly, as well as by inducing transparent communication. Trust would in turn positively affect openness to change. Authentic leadership included 1. Self-Awareness, 2. Relational Transparency, 3. Balanced Processing, and 4. Internalized Moral Perspective, dimensions. Whereas, transparent communication consisted of 1. Participation, 2. Substantiality, 3. Accountability, Factors. Empirical validity was established by conducting a survey using a close-ended questionnaire. Data was collected from 310 employees working across different service industries in Karachi and analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structured equation modeling.
