However, due to extensive and important human participation, managing change successfully is a major difficulty in the field of change management. In order to properly prepare employees for change situations, managers and change agents are keen to learn how to inspire them. The objective of this study was to investigate determinant of employee readiness for organizational change of public Bahir Dar city administration public service bureau. This study was executed on public sector employees, in the Bahir Dar city administration. The study was guided by four objectives that is examine the effect of self-efficacy on employee readiness to organizational change, examine the effect of appropriateness on employee readiness to change, investigate the effect of personal valence on employee readiness to change and investigate the effect of management support on employee readiness for change in the Bahir city administration public service bureaus. The target demographic was Bahir Dar city administration public service personnel. Stratified random sampling was used of 258 respondents with a 95% confidence level and 5% margin of error. A quantitative approach was used and data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS version 25.0. Frequency descriptions, correlation, and regression analysis were used to examine the data. Multiple regression model was applied to determine the cause-and-effect relationship between the dependent and independent variables. The findings revealed that self-efficacy, appropriateness and management support had positive and significant effect in determining employee readiness for organizational change. However, personal valence is not a predictor on employees’ readiness for organizational change. The support of key decision makers is crucial for the effective implementation of any necessary change. Additionally, when a suggested change is advantageous or aligns with the organization's goals, it can be effectively adopted.	en_US
