Abstract: Drawing from social schema theory (SST), the present study examines the relationship between learning organisations (LOs) and affective commitment to change (ACTC), with mediating role of change self-efficacy and moderating role of adaptive leadership (AL). Using simple random sampling, the present study's data was collected in two phases from 331 full-time employees working in the manufacturing sector (pharmaceutical and automobile) organisations. Collected data were analysed using process-macro to test the proposed hypotheses of this study. The results of this study demonstrated that LOs positively predictor ACTC, and this relationship was fully mediated by change self-efficacy. Furthermore, AL moderates the LOs - ACTC the relationship, LOs - change self-efficacy relationship, and change self-efficacy-ACTC the relationship. The present study is an attractive model for the successful implementation of organisational change using the organisational environment and efficacy of the employees. Further, this study highlights the importance of AL for employees' self-efficacy towards and for enhancing their commitment to organisational change. This research adopted a novel approach of AL for the successful implementation of change policies, as the adaptability of the policies and procedures is the core feature of organisational change.
