All of these factors can contribute to resistance to change among employees. If rewards and control systems are not aligned with the new situation, employees may see no benefit to changing. If they perceive that the new situation will be worse for them, they will resist. And if they lack the skills needed to succeed in the new state of affairs, they may resist out of a fear of failure.
