ABSTRACT
A model was proposed to assess whether attitudes mediate the relationship between the context of organizational change and well-being. A quantitative study was conducted to test the model in three Brazilian public organizations that underwent organizational change processes. Seven hundred, ninety-five employees answered the organizational change context attributes scale, attitudes toward organizational change scale and scale of well-being in the workplace. Analyses of validity and reliability were carried out for all measures using three different samples, while Path Analysis were performed to test the mediation model. The model was partially corroborated suggesting the influence of attitudes and attributes of change on the well-being. In addition, the study provides mediation as a methodological strategy that can be used in further research.
