Abstract

This study investigates the influence of structured change management approach specifically leadership support and employee readiness on successful implementation of organizational strategy in Federal Polytechnic Ado Ekiti, Nigeria. Anchored in Contingency Theory and Structural Contingency Theory, the study explores how internal organizational capabilities align with strategic objectives to drive performance. A quantitative, cross-sectional survey design was adopted, and data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to 168 acad emic and non-academic staff. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression were employed to analyze the data using SPSS Version 25. Results revealed a significant and positive relationship between leadership support and strategy implementation (â = 0.445, p < 0.001), as well as between employee readiness and strategy implementation (â = 0.326, p < 0.001). The model explained 40.5% of the variance in strategic outcomes (R² = 0.405). These findings underscore the importance of leadership commitment and employee preparedness in achieving strategic goals during organizational change. The study concludes that institutions seeking effective strategy execution must adopt structured change frameworks that prioritize both top-level support and grassroots engagement. The study recommends that Federal Polytechnic Ado Ekiti should strengthen change leadership capabilities, institutionalize change readiness programs, and adopt formal change management models to enhance strategic performance.
