APPRAISING REVERBERATIONS OF RESISTANCE TO CHANGE

Organizations in this sublimating environment on one hand entail continuous change through structured process of building capacity and enhance organization effectiveness by developing, improving and reinforcing behaviour, structure, technological processes with integrated organizational strategy. However on the other hand, during the change process they counter bottlenecks from the resistance to change bid by the individual employees, groups and sometimes organization itself. Resistances exhibited may vary in their nature and magnitude from organization to organization. Since, higher education faculty today need to counter changes such as virtual mode of teaching, student and market driven courseware, turbulent pedagogies, etc.  This descriptive cum survey study aims to investigate such effects of resistances at VSK University Ballari. Ecosystem of the study encompasses teaching faculty and sample size was chosen to be 82 and is more than Cochran formula. The data was analysed using Chi square analysis and Friedman test. The study revealed that there is an association between the resistance to change and effect on the organization and the amount of association in case of individual and group resistance is stronger.
