Employees resist change because:

A) they experience the effect of change only after the event is over.
B) the management tries to involve them in the process from the beginning.
C) they often choose how they see and hear data, and ignore information that challenges the stability of their world.
D) the companies typically support the change agent, the person responsible for an organizational change effort.

Employees often resist change because they have an inherent tendency to choose how they see and hear data, and they tend to ignore information that challenges the stability of their world. They may view change as a threat and be afraid of the unknown or fear that their jobs may be affected. Therefore, it is important for management to address these concerns and involve employees in the change process from the beginning. Supporting the change agent is not the sole reason for employee resistance.
