BEHAVIORAL ASPECTS OF CHANGE
Positive and negative ways of people’s reaction to
change, minimizing these behavioral reactions is
crucial for successfully implementing a new system.
HOW BEHAVIORAL PROBLEM OCCURS
To minimize adverse behavioral reactions, one must
know why resistance takes place. Some important
factors are given below:
Fear
Top
Management
support
Experience with
prior changes
Communication
Disruptive
nature of change
Emotion and
Bias
Personal
characteristics
And background
FORMS OF RESISTANCE
Resistance takes one of three forms:
Aggression Projection Avoidance
PREVENTING BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS
Obtain
management
support
Meet user
needs
Involve users
Allay fears, and
stress new
opportunities
Avoid
emotionalism
Provide training
Reexamine
performance
evaluation
Keep
communication
lines open
Test the system
Keep the
system simple,
and humanize it
Control users’
expectations
FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS
An investigation to determine whether it is practical to
develop a new application or system
