Dislike to change- addressing this reason for resistance to change the management need to communicate the change to the workforce early in advance.

The management can also deal with this reason to resistance to change by informing the employees in advance what will come with the change. By so doing the workers will be ready and comfortable to face the uncertainty that comes with change.
Perceived negative effects on interests- to reduce resistance to change due to this reason, the management should inform the workforce the individual, departmental and the organizational benefits that the change will bring about (Cameron, 2012). The employee will therefore be receptive to change as they will know the impacts of their job.
