ABSTRACT This study aims to test the validity and reliability of Grit as a measuring device which was initially developed by Duckworth and Quinn (2009). As commonly known, Grit performs as a research variable in the field of personality psychology, and educational psychology. It is also developed to optimize employees' performance in some corporations; hence, it also encompasses the study of industrial and organizational psychology and includes some dimensions of perseverance and passion. Grit Scale has proven to be valid when it tested on military cadets in the USA; however, in order to obtain more validity, it needs to be tested again in Indonesia. Using 200 millennials in Surabaya, Indonesia, as research subjects, this research was conducted between April and July 2019. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was performed using Analysis of Structural Moment (AMOS) and proved to be valid. Moreover, Short Grit Scale (Grit-S) was also proven to be valid and reliable with ꭓ2 = 20.97; probability value = 0.138; RMSEA = 0.045; CFI = 0.972; GFI = 0.976; and AGFI = 0.941. While the composite reliability set was recorded at 0.82. Hence, it is concluded that Short Grit Scale is valid and reliable to be tested on Indonesian millennials. Keywords: Grit-S, perseverance, passion, millennials

Commitment to change on middle managers was assumed to be an important factor that supported the success of the implementation of the organizational change plan. Based on the social exchange theory, commitment to change on middle managers could develop with a reciprocal relation between the organization and the middle managers. This research aimed to test the participation of middle managers on the commitment to organizational change with perceived organizational support as the mediator. Participation in the period of change was an exchangeable resource, while perceived organizational support was an indicator of the quality of the relationship between the middle managers and the organization. Research data were obtained from 227 middle managers on one of the government organizations in Indonesia which was in a period of change. Research results showed that perceived organizational support could have the role as a partial mediator between participation in period of change with commitment to change. Perceived organizational support and participation in period of change would increase the affective and normative commitment to change, while decreasing the continuous commitment to change. This research result could contribute practically and theoretically in the understanding and discussion regarding the role of middle managers in organizational change
