Human Resources’ Resistance to Change - from Routine to Entrepreneurship Ideas
Abstract
Nowadays, change has become a constant presence inside the organizations and its existence in organizational life has proved to be necessary for its evolution. The term ‘’change’’ conveys the idea of renovating or transforming an existing thing by adding some values or reducing others. This way, it can be said that change is a process of organizational transformation- especially regarding human resources and overcoming the resistance to change.
No one is immune to change and this process affects all members of an organization, either in a positive or negative way. On one hand, it can bring together the members of an organization to achieve a common objective, on the other hand it may be a disruptive factor, a divisional factor and a source of conflict. Although the change may mean something different for different people, it is not something new.
