Abstract This study investigates the factors influencing employee adaptation and responses to leadership transitions within the context of the Jose Rizal Memorial State University system. Utilizing a quantitative approach, the research examines how organizational communication, leadership support, and the work environment intersect with employee demographics to shape organizational change outcomes. Data analysis reveals that while the workforce is primarily in the early-to-mid-career stage, employees demonstrate high levels of resilience, maintaining professional conduct, positive attitudes, and consistent productivity despite shifts in leadership. The findings indicate that both structural mechanisms (systems and resources) and relational mechanisms (transparent communication and active support) are significant predictors of successful adaptation. While overall adaptability was found to be consistent across most demographic groups, significant variations in responses emerged when analyzed by sex, length of service, and employment classification. These nuances suggest that while institutional practices effectively support a general transition, individual and role-based differences require more targeted administrative attention. The study concludes that sustaining a conducive work environment through timely, participatory communication and strengthened leadership guidance is vital for institutional stability. To operationalize these findings, the research proposes the implementation of Project BRIDGE, a two-year, two-phase program designed to enhance employee readiness, engagement, and long-term performance during executive successions.
