Readiness for change in knowledge shown by generation x employees is still moderate tending to low. This causes 59% to feel anxious, to stress in the period of retirement. This condition requires good adaptability in order to survive in their work, besides the cognitive and affective assessment factors of employees also need to be studied to see the dynamics of open attitudes that will be shown. The objective in this study is to see the mediating relationship of adaptability between quality of work life and organizational identification on readiness for change. This study involved 437 generation x employees in Surabaya, Gresik, and Sidoarjo who worked for more than one year with a path analysis design. The results show that adaptability fully mediates the relationship between quality of work life and readiness for change, but not significantly on organizational identification. Meanwhile, partially, the three independent variables have a significant effect on readiness for change. The use of internal factors plays an important role in the readiness of generation x employees but needs to pay attention to other external factors. Further implications for future research are described in the discussion
