Abstract

For the individual, but also for the organization it is essential to adapt to changes imposed by the competitive environment and the economic and political context. Resistance to change makes the one that’s prepared and informed to gain ground. There are a variety of reasons that make people be reluctant about accepting the change. On the one hand people are scared by what’s new and on the other hand they have strong personalities and hardly accept something that comes from outside. Among the factors that generate resistance to change are the psychological ones, but also the material ones. In the first part of this study we approached the concept of resistance, and in the second part we conducted a research based on a questionnaire survey. The goal of the research is to observe the extent to which the human resources within an SME in Dambovita county shows resistance to change.
