Acceptance of Change Among Workers for Sustainability in Organizations: Trait Emotional Intelligence and Insight Orientation

Within the framework of the psychology of sustainability and sustainable development, acceptance of change represents a promising resource for sustainability in organizations in the complex and the continuously changing twenty-first-century world of work. From primary and strength-based prevention perspectives, it is important to individuate variables amenable to training to promote acceptance of change. The present study analyzes the contribution of insight in mediating the relationship between trait emotional intelligence and acceptance of change of 182 Italian workers. The findings suggest that insight could represent a promising primary prevention resource in relation to acceptance of change in organizations in the framework of the psychology of sustainability and sustainable development.
