Organizational change occurs within a cultural framework. Cultural factors such as values, beliefs, and norms play an important role in shaping individuals' attitudes toward change. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of attitudes toward organizational change in the innovative behavior of elementary school teachers in Birjand. The research employed a descriptive-correlational design. The population consisted of 1900 elementary school teachers in Birjand city during the 2022-2023 academic year. A sample of 320 teachers was selected using a multi-stage cluster sampling method. The data collection tools were the organizational change attitude questionnaires of Dunham et al. (1989) and Kanter's innovative behavior questionnaires (1988). The reliability of the questionnaires was 0.87 and 0.89, respectively. Data were analyzed using one-sample t-test and multiple regression in Spss16 software. The findings revealed that teachers' attitudes toward organizational change and innovative behavior were significantly above average and in a favorable state. The results of the main hypothesis showed that the attitude towards organizational change has a positive and significant relationship with the innovative behavior of Birjand primary education teachers. A correlation was obtained between attitude towards organizational change and innovative behavior (R= 0.20), therefore, attitude towards organizational change has a predictive role in the innovative behavior of Birjand elementary school teachers. The results of the sub-hypotheses showed that, with the exception of emotional attitude, cognitive and behavioral attitude have a positive and significant relationship with the innovative behavior of Birjand primary education teachers.Among the components of attitude towards organizational change, the correlation between the two behavioral and cognitive components with innovative behavior was (R= 0.26) and (R=0.19), respectively. In general, among the dimensions of attitude towards organizational change, the behavioral component plays the greatest role in predicting innovative behavior among elementary school teachers in Birjand.
