EMPLOYEES RESISTANCE TOWARDS ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE

Abstract

While carrying out this study I came across number of factors which are usually considered when deciding when and what level of change should be introduced in any organisation, as a result, if these changes are not properly handled in the organisational system, it causes resistance from the people who are expected to effect these changes i.e., the employees, hence, the reasons why employee resist changes being introduced in an organisation. While carrying out this study, I gone through various articles and websites to understand the proper foundation and perspectives of change, resistance to change and how better management can benefit these changes in their organisation if they want the continued success of their organisation. I have collected the data through primary and secondary sources. The major findings for this study indicate that employee resist changes because of poor communication of the required change, lack of proper motivation and encouragement to effect such changes and the inhuman nature of the changes being introduced by the management. Conclusion from this study is that the employees were not properly communicated as the changes were being introduced, and the management did not put the hazardous nature of the job into conclusion before introducing such changes. It is therefore recommended that employees should be informed about the nature of the changes being introduced in the organisation and proper due process should be followed as well as adequate motivation and inventive packages. It is very important to study and to know as well that why employees resist change in an organization, so that the organization can look into that and manage and implement the change accordingly. Through this study, the organization will be clearer on the concept of change in their organization and what should be the perspective that should be there to implement those changes in an organization.
