Workers seem to reject a simple new manufacturing method that has been shown to increase company sales because they say, "That is not the way we do things around here."

These workers are most likely to be resisting change due to which of the following?
A) uncertainty
B) habit
C) conflicts with company goals
D) fear of the unknown

Answer: B
Explanation: The statement "That is not the way we do things around here" indicates that procedures in this company are entrenched in habit, making that the correct response. These workers are not uncertain or fearful of the unknown since the new change has been fully identified and is described as simple. The method does not appear to conflict with company goals since it is said to increase sales, so "conflicts with company goals" is an incorrect response.
