2. Resistance to Change

3. “PEOPLE DO NOT RESIST CHANGE, BUT RESIST BEING CHANGED”

4. - A lot has changed in the corporate world in the past years. From the management style to the use of technology, everything has undergone tremendous change and the rate at which it is happening is exponentially increasing. -Today, businesses deal with new technologies, government regulations, increased customer demands, competition, and ever-changing workforce needs.

5. Some of the examples that can cause resistance to change: Lack of Understanding- The absence of a clear goal is a common barrier that companies overlook. They want to implement change, but they do not know what they want to achieve. Lack of Communication- Any plan will fail without proper communication, so organizations should find ways to maintain clear and consistent communication. Lack of Accountability- Everyone must play a role in setting and achieving company goals, and change will not happen when they are passive.

6. Barriers to Change in an Organization Psychological Barriers- People like safety, comfort and feeling of control. Psychological barriers will prevent them from accepting change when they feel their security is threatened. Some of the common Psychological Barriers are : Uncertainty : Individuals resist when details about why and how change will be implemented are not clear. Low Confidence : Individuals feel threatened that they do not have the necessary skills to be able to perform in their new role.

7. 3. Anxiety : uncertainty and low confidence creates anxiety and stress. It’s natural to reduce them by resisting to change. 4. Fear : an individual’s reaction to fear is either to fight or flight. Fear of unknown will create resistance to change and some employees will just leave. 5. Personality : some individual have low tolerance to change irrespective of whether the change is positive and beneficial.

8. Contextual Barriers- are present within the organizational policy, rules, structure and facilities. The three common types of contextual barriers to change acceptance are: Power and Prestige : threats to power and relinquishment of it can trigger resistance. Job Security : when employees fear losing their jobs due to change, they will resist the change itself. Intrinsic rewards : changes to tasks and responsibilities might cause a perceived threat to intrinsic rewards like autonomy, challenge and self-determination.

9. Sociological Barriers - the nature of the organization and their surrounding environment can also influence an individual to resist change. Group norms and values : groups from strong norms that govern their behavior with each other. Group conformity : when an individual is surrounded by group members who oppose change, tend to develop negative emotions even when they may not fully agree with a group’s resistance; this is due to the need to feel socially accepted.

10. Causes of Barriers to Change Parochial Self-Interest Contradictory Assessments Misunderstanding and lack of Trust Low Tolerance for Change

11. Resistance is an inevitable response to any change as individual’s initial reaction is to defend the status quo when they feel their security is threatened. The resistance to change can have significant effect on whether or not change gets accepted and implemented by the organization. If a business change is to succeed, then organization and the people who work in them must be prepared for it.
