The attitude towards change is rather negative (80.2% of professors have a negative attitude). About a third of teachers (28.7%) do not want to participate and support innovations, and 27.7% take a neutral position on this issue. At the same time, the level of own knowledge for the introduction of innovations is assessed by teachers as more than sufficient (only 7.9-12.9% are not confident in their abilities to provide innovations). Personal attitude to innovations directly depends on the level of psychological well-being of the professors. The study showed a link between the level of psychological well-being and the readiness for organizational change. The level of psychological well-being can act as a predictor of the readiness for innovation.
