There are several reasons why change resistance occurs:
1. Fear of the Unknown: Employees may be uncertain about how changes will affect their roles, job security, or work environment. 2. Loss of Control: Changes can make employees feel like they are losing control over their work and routines. 3. Lack of Trust: If employees do not trust their leadership, they are less likely to embrace change. 4. Poor Communication: Inadequate communication about the reasons for change and its benefits can lead to misunderstandings and resistance. 5. Previous Negative Experiences: Past experiences with poorly managed changes can make employees wary of new initiatives.
