Introduction: Efficient change management and employee well-being have become determining factors for organizational success. This study focused on analyzing the mediating role of organizational climate in the relationship between willingness to change and eudaimonic well-being of employees. Method: There was a sample of 510 participants from three countries (Colombia: n = 158, 31%; Spain: n = 201, 39.4%; Ecuador: n = 151, 29.6%), with an average age of 36.47 years (SD = 12.61), who responded to the Organizational Climate Test (Focus-93), a Test of Readiness for Organizational Change (Cedco) and an Index of Eudaimonic Well-being (EWB). Results: The multivariate and regression analyzes with structural equations indicated a limited predictive capacity of organizational change in well-being and the positive influence on the organizational climate, in addition to a moderate evaluation between well-being and organizational climate. However, the evaluation between organizational change and climate highlights the importance of effective change management to influence employee well-being. Conclusions: These findings emphasize the need to design strategies that foster employee well-being through change management and the promotion of a positive organizational climate in specific organizational settings.
