Which kind of resistance to change is most likely to be beneficial to a company?
A) conflict with company goals
B) uncertainty
C) habit
D) fear of losing status or possessions
Answer: A
Explanation: Employees who resist change because they truly think that the change is harming the company in some way may be helping the company by pointing out the error that it is making. This makes "conflict with company goals" the correct response. Resisting change out of habit, fear of uncertainty, or fear of losing something of value is very unlikely to be beneficial to a company since in each case the employee is putting his or her own concerns ahead of company concerns.
