| Resumo: | This study suggests a new model of analysis that relates the concept of transformational leadership, entrepreneurial leadership and change leadership behaviours and their relationship with the construct of affective commitment to change. The present study also tries to shed some light into the moderating effects of change leadership behaviours with entrepreneurial leadership and/or transformational leadership. A survey was conducted with followers that work in the IT industry and that have at least experienced one organizational change situation. The results from 166 responses suggest that Transformational leadership, entrepreneurial leadership and affective leadership behaviours are positively associated with affective commitment to change. In addition, the study indicates no moderator effects of Entrepreneurial Leadership or Transformational Leadership with change leadership behaviours to predict affective commitment to change. With reference to the sociodemographic variables, with exception of the variable gender, none seem to be significantly associated to affective commitment to change.
