This research seeks to examine the relationship between each of the four components of organizational justice (procedural, distributive, interpersonal, and informational) and readiness for change, while considering work engagement as a mediating factor. There are still few studies in the public sector that examine and investigate the four dimensions of organizational justice separately. This study is a casual explanatory study with a cross-sectional study category and a questionnaire survey method. The study employed a non-probability sampling approach to gather research participants from the university’s administrative personnel. To evaluate the hypotheses proposed in this investigation, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was utilized as the analytical method. The results showed that from the four dimensions of organizational justice, there were only three dimensions that had a significant positive effect on readiness to change, they are procedural justice, distributive justice and informational justice. The findings also offer empirical evidence that work engagement acts as a mediating variable between the three dimensions of organizational justice (procedural, interpersonal, and informational justices) and readiness for change.
