Which of the following is true according to Lewin's force field analysis?

A) Restraining forces have to be stronger than driving forces for change to work.
B) Driving forces have to be stronger than restraining forces for change to work.
C) Driving forces and restraining forces must be equal for chain to work.
D) Driving forces are always stronger than restraining forces during change initiatives.

Lewin's Force Field Analysis

A conceptual framework for analyzing the factors (forces) that influence a situation, identifying those that support a particular goal (driving forces) and those that oppose it (restraining forces).

Restraining Forces

Factors that resist or oppose change within an organization, hindering its progress and adaptation.

Driving Forces

Factors that actively contribute to the movement, change, or development of certain processes or outcomes.

  • Absorb the components and phases of Lewin's change model and its application in the facilitation of change.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Lewin's force field analysis suggests that for change to be successful, the driving forces (which push for change) need to be stronger than the restraining forces (which resist change). This imbalance allows the change to move forward.
