Abstract: Organizational change becomes important when companies fail to accomplish planned goals in a turbulent business environment. However, successful change implementation becomes impossible without organizational members' change readiness. Resistance to change is a factor that can jeopardize change efforts the most, and change readiness reduces potential change resistance. Also, continuous learning of all organization members is an essential prerequisite for successful change implementation. The aim of this research is to analyze the impact of change readiness on change success and investigate the role of organizational learning capacity in this relationship. The study was conducted in September 2021, and the sample included 43 large companies operating in Croatia. The results of PLS-SEM analysis show that the impact of change readiness on the success of organizational change is fully mediated by organizational learning capacity.
