Abstract:
The aim of this research is to explore the impact of mindfulness and transformational leadership (TL) on lecturer’s commitment to
teaching entrepreneurship (CTE) with a mechanism of readiness for change (RFC) in Thailand polytechnic institutes. The crosssection survey technique is used in this research. 169 lecturers from polytechnics were the respondents in this research. Partial
least square-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach was used to analyze the data. The findings have shown that RFC
mediates the link between TL and CTE. Mindfulness and TL have no significant effect on CTE. The link between mindfulness
and CTE is not mediated by RFC. The role of lecturers RFC should be understood by higher education. The reason for this is that
RFC mediates the association between TL and CTE. This research explains the mediation of RFC to affect the association
between TL and lecturers CTE in the context of Thailand polytechnics.
