Reasons for Resistance to Change• When the purpose is not made clear.
• When the participants are not involved in the planning.
• When the appeal is based on personal reasons.
• When the habit patterns of the work group are ignored.
• When there is poor communication regarding a change.
• When there is fear of failure.
• When excessive work pressure is involved.
• When the cost is too high, or the reward for making the change is seen as inadequate.
