Types of Resistance to Change

Resistance to change may be of the following three types:

• Logical resistance:

This kind of resistance basically arises from the time people genuinely take to adapt and adjust to changes. For example, when computers became common, accountants had to shift from accounting on paper to digital accounting. This naturally takes time to adapt to.

• Psychological resistance:

under this category, the resistance occurs in basic terms due to mental and psychological factors. people often resist changes for reasons like fear of the unknown, less tolerance to change, dislike towards the management, etc.

• Sociological resistance: 

This resistance relates not to individuals but rather to the common values and customs of groups. Individuals may be willing to change but will not due to peer pressure from the group they are members of.
