    (Addis Ababa University, 2023-06) Haregewoin Nega; Abraraw Chane (PhD)
    The purpose of this study was to look at the relationship between leadership styles and how prepared Addis Ababa's Abay Bank S.Co. branches were for organizational change. The dependent variable in the study was change preparedness, and the two independent variables were transformational and transactional leadership styles. The study's aims were addressed via two research questions. The link between the variables was examined using a quantitative and explanatory method. The California Organizational Change Management Questionnaire and the Multi-factor Leadership Questionnaire, which come in two formats (leader form and rater form), were utilized to collect the data. 128 non-administrative personnel and 48 administrative bodies participated in the study. From the questionnaires that were issued, 40 (83%) administrative bodies and 118 (92.1%) employees provided valid responses. Frequency, percentage, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis were the main statistical methods utilized, along with descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings showed that, compared to transactional leadership styles, transformational leadership styles showed a better correlation with organizational change preparedness. Additionally, a sizable amount of the variation in organizational change was strongly predicted by both transactional and transformational leadership styles. They explained 46% of the variation in organizational change preparedness when taken as a whole. According to the results, it is advised that the entire workforce be subjected to customized leadership development initiatives, and that effective training and follow-up plans be developed in partnership with stakeholders
