Resistance to Change (RTC): A Taxonomical Perspective
Journal Title: GATR Journal of Management and Marketing Review - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective – This paper debatably argues that there is rather limited and effective framework in managing resistance to change. Thus, a different concept in assessing resistance to change is proposed. Methodology/Technique – This study is conducted through review of qualitative data based on organizational change literature. It was discovered that previous change research accentuated more on human aspect while missing other potential and critical aspect of change resistance. Findings – The past studies put more weightage on individual reactions to change. Study believes that everyone has own unique defence mechanisms that protect them from the change which act as barrier from allowing the individual to adapt with the change. Resistance correlates with individual’s mind reflecting one’s willingness and receptiveness to change while being influences by one’s thinking and behavior. Thus, evaluating resistance to change based on human aspect alone will produce dissimilarities in results. Novelty –Albeit the simplicity of the proposed model, the model will enable the assessment of resistance to change with the larger perspective in tandem with past recommendations of a dire need of better framework in managing resistance to change. Type of Paper: Review.
