What are sources of resistance to change?
- Self Interest
Changes may require a different skill set, affect power status, change relationships with others, social status or self-esteem, and there for be against the personal interest.
- Uncertainty
People may be concerned as to how the change will affect their job and lives, and humanly expect the worst.
- Lack of trust
The source of the change isn't respected or trusted. "What does he know about how we actually get things done here?". Especially if the change comes from outside the department.
- Different perspectives
The change may be viewed from an entirely different perspective, for instance the engineers view v.s. the accountants view. This can happen especially when not all the angles have been considered.
- Inflexibility
Some people are just intolerant to change. The are more vested in protecting the status qua no matter how clear the benefits of change would be.
Here are some countermeasures one can use to address these resistances to change
Self Interest Create a corporate culture where employees can feel confident they will be retained and valued for their skill set. If the department can't use the skill set anymore, the employee should feel confident that he can use his skills elsewhere in the company, or that he'll be helped to train new relevant skill sets.
Uncertainty Ensure sufficient information is communicated about the proposed change. Additional background information should be available. Option to ask questions should be available and always answered.
Give the organization sufficient time to get used to the idea, also communicating well upfront is helpful.
Lack of trust Change from within. Get a respectable colleague from the to be affected department(s) to join the project team. Collaborate to reach the proposed change, reach consensus. He or she can become an advocate for communicating the proposal to the affected department.
Different perspectives Ensure you have a well rounded team that can look from the different viewpoints. Include the to be affected departments in the discussion. Hear all the opinions upfront and include their feedback into the change. This provides a more well rounded idea.
Inflexibility Some people will always resist change. Having a trial period first can help ease them into this, also provides reassurance that if the change doesn't help, we can go back to the old situation. However, in the end, if the change is clearly beneficial, there may still be a few individuals that are unwilling to change along. This could be the deadwood of the organization that would be better suited to work elsewhere...

A platinum thermometer changes the resistance of platinum with a change in temperature, thus by measuring the change in resistance we can measure the change in temperature. Read More
In series circuit is currant change with change in resistance?
yes, The current flowing in a series circuit is given by the applied voltage divided by it's total resistance offered by the circuit. hence if resistance of the circuit is changed, then total circuit resistance will change, so current will change. Read More

Why the value of internal resistance of any current source is infinite?
It isn't. If you're using superposition, you open circuit current sources and short voltage sources; this is because the current source declares the current that will be flowing through that branch. Both current and voltage sources have a finite internal resistance. Read More

How do you find the ac resistance of a diode?
The ac resistance of a diode is found using the equation: (The change in Vd)/(The change in Id) An easier was is to use the Equation: 26mV / Id. This is a general form as the ac resistance of a diode change as the temperature changes. Read More
Unit for a measure of resistance to a change of motion?
"Resistance to a change of motion" is called INERTIA. The only meaningful unit here is a unit of mass, such as the kilogram. Read More
Does current effect the resistance in an electric series circuit?
The resistance remains constant. The voltage would change, in accordance with Ohms' law, with a change in current. Read More
How do people show passive resistance to change?
Another common reaction is passive resistance where individuals agree on the surface with the need for change but are quietly unsupportive of it. Read More
Can water decrease a substances resistance to the flow of electricity?
A item's resistance is not able to be changed with water. Water on an object or absorbed by an object can change the overall resistance of an object by putting in parallel the resistance of the water itself. If you were to use very clean water that was deionized and soaked your device, you would see no resistance change. Read More

Is the increase in voltage causes a greater electric resistance in a circuit?
No, the resistance in a circuit does not change when voltage changes. Resistance is an inherent property of the circuit. Read More
What happens to the resistance in a circuit when you change the current?
Ideally, resistance and current are independent. They are tied together by ohms law, which states voltage divided by current = resistance. Increasing the voltage will increase the current, so resistance stays unchanged. In the real world. resistance will often change some depending on the temperature. Read More
