Abstract
There is growing attention to the importance employees have in supporting

change initiatives. However, few models of commitment to change have focused

on both antecedents and outcomes. Therefore, the purpose of the present study

was to explore whether authentic leadership, via affective commitment to change,

may have an influence on employee agility when undergoing a digital

transformation. Research has found that there is a relationship between authentic

leadership and commitment to change. However, there is limited research on

potential boundary conditions of this relationship, and we therefore included

employees’ fixed digital mindset as a moderator. Through a cross-sectional

design, we collected survey data from an organization in the maritime industry

undergoing a digital transformation. In total, 225 employees participated.

Regression analyses revealed that there were no direct, moderating, or mediating

effects. However, results showed a positive relationship between affective

commitment to change and employee agility. These findings will be discussed,

together with limitations and directions for future research.

Keywords: digital transformation, authentic leadership, commitment to change,

agility, digital mindset
