A change seldom comes alone, neither does the feelings attached to them: A study about employees personal experiences during a multiple change implementation

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze ongoing changes at a company operating in the real estate industry. The study takes the perspective of the employees and how they react to the changes. Previous studies have focused mainly on the causes of resistance to change and strategies for how to deal with them. This study will add how employees’ resistance is portrayed in the organization. The study showed that besides education and participation plays culture an important role in how employees react to change. It also showed that employees’ work will be affected depending on the level of resistance they experience to change.
