Abstract
Reintegration of correctional clients requires both access to formal employment and psychological readiness to adapt to change. Organizational Justice and Perceived Organizational Support are key factors that may strengthen Readiness for Change through the role of Psychological Capital. A quantitative design with purposive sampling was applied to 243 correctional clients on parole and employed in the formal sector in Jakarta. Data were gathered through structured questionnaires and analyzed using SmartPLS, including reliability, validity, and structural model testing. Organizational Justice significantly influenced Psychological Capital (β = 0.537) and Readiness for Change (β = 0.328). Perceived Organizational Support also showed positive effects on Psychological Capital (β = 0.467) and Readiness for Change (β = 0.247). Psychological Capital directly enhanced RFC (β = 0.419), confirming its mediating role between organizational factors and readiness for change. The findings suggest that fairness and institutional support contribute to stronger psychological resources, which in turn foster Readiness For Change. Organizational Justice demonstrated a stronger effect on Readiness for Change than Perceived Organizational Support, emphasizing fairness as a central driver of reintegration readiness. The study extends Organizational Justice and Perceived Organizational Support theories in correctional contexts. Practically, interventions should ensure fair treatment, strengthen institutional support, and build psychological capital to enhance reintegration success. Psychological Capital functions as a bridge that links organizational conditions with sustainable readiness for change.

Organizational Justice and Perceived Organizational Support as Predictors of Readiness for Change: The Mediating Role of Psychological Capital among Correctional Center Clients in Jakarta
Reintegration of correctional clients requires both access to formal employment and psychological readiness to adapt to change. Organizational Justice and Perceived Organizational Support are key factors that may strengthen Readiness for Change through the role of Psychological Capital. A quantitative design with purposive sampling was applied to 243 correctional clients on parole and employed in the formal sector in Jakarta. Data were gathered through structured questionnaires and analyzed using SmartPLS, including reliability, validity, and structural model testing. Organizational Justice significantly influenced Psychological Capital (β = 0.537) and Readiness for Change (β = 0.328). Perceived Organizational Support also showed positive effects on Psychological Capital (β = 0.467) and Readiness for Change (β = 0.247). Psychological Capital directly enhanced RFC (β = 0.419), confirming its mediating role between organizational factors and readiness for change. The findings suggest that fairness and institutional support contribute to stronger psychological resources, which in turn foster Readiness For Change. Organizational Justice demonstrated a stronger effect on Readiness for Change than Perceived Organizational Support, emphasizing fairness as a central driver of reintegration readiness. The study extends Organizational Justice and Perceived Organizational Support theories in correctional contexts. Practically, interventions should ensure fair treatment, strengthen institutional support, and build psychological capital to enhance reintegration success. Psychological Capital functions as a bridge that links organizational conditions with sustainable readiness for change.
