Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The method chosen involves a threat and forceful approach, indicating the use of coercion to overcome resistance. This approach may lead to negative consequences, such as fear, resentment, and decreased morale among employees. It is generally not the best method for creating a positive work environment and employee engagement. Participation, negotiation, and education and communication are usually more effective techniques for managing resistance to change. Cooptation involves bringing resistance leaders into the change process, which may not be appropriate in this situation.
