The results of educational change attempts have disappointed all the stakeholders because of high failure rates. Regarding the underlying reasons behind those failures, the organizational change literature points out the ignorance of human attitude in change process. Of the attitudes toward change, Readiness for Organizational Change (RFOC) is identified as one of the preliminary steps of a change process. With respect to the exploration of human attitude toward change, cognitive dissonance theory has been extensively used. Utilizing the assumptions of cognitive dissonance theory, the main purpose of this study is to experimentally investigate how the readiness of novice teachers towards an educational change initiative shows variation depending on the counter-attitudinal information and counter-attitudinal essay writing about the respective educational change.

The aim of the current study is to assess transformational leadership proclivities based on the Conditional Reasoning Test approach (CRT; James, 1998). The CRT is a relatively new implicit assessment system that is used to identify the justification mechanisms (i.e. cognitive biases) indicative of specific motives which underlie personality (James, 1998). ‘Justification mechanisms’ (JMs) are rational and sensible explanations- in contrast to irrational and foolish- that people are inclined to produce for th...

In addition, the number of doctoral students has been observed to increase significant...
