Resistance to change

All living species, specifically human beings are naturally against change because no one wants to get out of his or her comfort zone. This tendency is known as resistance to change.

Levels of resistance to change

1. Individual resistance

It happens because of the following reasons: Human habits, insecurities, fear of uncertainty, misconception and humours.

2. Organisational resistance

This happens due to the following reason: Organisational culture and ethics, position power and internal conflicts.

3. Group resistance

It happens because of the blind following of group norms, group thinking and loyalty towards the group culture.

Dealing with resistance to change

The following common methods can be adopted to deal with resistance to change:

1. Clear definition of vision and goals

Clarity is the biggest motivation for employees and hence clarifying the reason and result of the change helps to deal with resistance to change.

2. Make employees participate in the change process.

3. To interview employees to know their feedback.

4. Expand the communication channel to clarify change goals.

5. Positive attitude

Change is a tiring and stressful process hence, all the managers should be positively motivated to adopt and pass on the process of change to their subordinate.

6. Rewarding employees for effectively adopting the change.

Benefits from resistance to change

Strong resistance gives a chance of Re-analysis of change proposal and hence, potentially harmful or disappointing change proposals can be formulated again by the manager.


Change management

"Change management can be defined as a planned strategy of a systematic change process to achieve the desired organisational goal through the decision of making a change."

Process of Change management

For say, transition means different periods of confusion, uncertainty, doubts during the process of change

6. Supporting the change

7. Evaluating the result achieved from the process of change.

Approaches to managing organisational change

1. Kurt Lewin's 3 step model

This model states that how two different kinds of people or forces are able to balance themselves in the process of change. 

The three steps involved in this model are: 

1. Unfreezing

This stage involves minimising the resistance to change.

2. Moving

This step involves developing new beliefs, values and behavioral patterns for the acceptance of change.

3. Refreezing

This involves freezing the belief and acceptance of workforce at a new level.

Performing the planned startegies.

6. Stablising

Simply means "Refreezing" the system.

7. Termination

Disposing change management group and terminating agent.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

3. Kotter's Eight-Step Plan for implementing change

4. Greiner's Six-Phase Process

2. Should be a chronological process not an abrupt move.

Following are the six phases of this theory

Pressure and arousal

Intervention and Re-orientation

Diagnosis and recognition

Invention and committment

Experimentation and research

Reinforcement and acceptance


Challenges in change management

Organisation effectiveness

Organisational culture

Organisational culture refers to the personality or traits of an organisation.

In simple words, "organizational culture refers to the common values and beliefs that prevail in an organisation and enables employees to understand rules and customs of that organisation."

Organisational power

The ability of any individual to make things happen in a manner desired by him is known as power.

And when, "a group of organisational members are motivated to perform the various activities in a desired manner to accomplish organisation goal" , then it is referred to as organisational power.

Power is the ability to get things done the way one wants them to be done.

Organisation politics

Politics in organisations are becoming reality in the era of growing cut-throat competitions.

Politics simply means a strategically planned behavioral pattern to get something done or to attain any goal.

Hence, "organizational politics can be defined as strategically designed behaviours that maximize self interest".

Politics is usually done to fulfill selfish or unethical purposes in order to get the desired results.
