Resistance to change can take many forms. Name and describe three forms of resistance to change at the individual level of organization, and three ways to help individuals cope with organization change.
What will be an ideal response?
Blind resistance to change refers to a fear to or intolerance of change—just because they don’t like the idea of change. Political resistance to change occurs when people believe that they are losing their power base, status, job, income, or something else of status value. Ideological resistance to change refers to people who truly believe that there is something wrong with the change initiative. One way of helping them cope is conceptually: give them a way of thinking about what they are experiencing, such as letting go of the old and looking forward to what they can gain by the new. Another coping mechanism is to achieve closure, perhaps through a ceremony, such as a mock funeral. A third way to help them cope with change is to get them involved in planning and implementing the change.
