Abstract:
impediments to organisational expansion and growth due
to its negative repercussions. This study therefore sought
to investigate the factors that influence resistance to organisational
change at Oti-Yeboah Complex Limited. Descriptive
survey design was adopted to collect information
using stratified sampling and self-administered questionnaires.
Descriptive statistics, bi-variate correlation, regression
analysis and t-test were used to analyse the data. The
results indicated that less employee participation in decision
making and lack of trust in management contributed
highly to resistance at Oti-Yeboah Complex Limited. In
addition, factors such as lack of motivation, poor channels
of communication, and information exchange also
contributed to resistance. The study suggests that management
should encourage employee participation in decision
making, build confidence, accept constructive criticism,
be transparent and communicate clearly the need for
change to employees.
