Abstract:The twin transition i.e. moving to be more sustainable and digital in organizations can bring about various changes within the organizational structure and practices. The area of change management becomes more relevant as we face an ever-changing market dynamic. This study examines the role of positive psychology in facilitating openness to change. Utilizing the Job Demands-Resources model as a theoretical framework, this research investigates the relationships between the employee and leaders understandings of their respective organizations in the context of a twin transition. This research used a mixed-methods approach to get both qualitative and quantitative insights for a more holistic understanding of the relationships between the variables. Overall, the findings indicate that higher levels of psychological capital (PsyCap) in employees are strongly associated with a higher openness to change and better engagement with twin transition practices. Similarly the perceived PsyCap employees had of their leaders influences employee engagement levels with change practices. This highlights the importance of positive psychological resources in the context of an organization undergoing change such as the twin transition, and further discusses its implications.
