Reasons for Resistance to Change
Managers and employees often seem to prefer
the status quo.
• Self-interest: the fear of personal loss is
perhaps the biggest obstacle to organizational
change.
• Lack of understanding and trust: do not
understand the intended purpose of a change, or
distrust the intentions.

Reasons for Resistance to Change (Cont’d)

•
Uncertainty: the lack of information about future
events.
Different assessments and goals: people who will
be affected by innovation may assess the situation
differently.
