Question

Min's company is implementing a new product approval system that is far more complex and restrictive than the old system. This will not affect Min directly because she is in the marketing department, but it will affect her friend Tyler, who is in the Research and Design department. As a result, Min speaks out against the new system. This is an example of resistance to change due to ______.

Answer 1

Answer:

Peer pressure.

Explanation:

Peer pressure: It is a common cause of employee resistance to change. This emotion is created by someone we already know to act in a certain way. The changes are influenced by an individual by a peer. Peer pressure brings changes to the attitude, behavior, values, taste, preference, etc. Even marketing companies use this influential pressure on the customer to make a purchase of particular goods available in the market.

In the given case, Min was influenced by her peer Tyler, who is direct getting affected by the change in product approval system, therefore, Min speaks out against the new system.
