confidence in the programs of change made by the top management or the fear
that such programs may harm their interests or lack of clarity in the objectives

resistance to change by doing a number of negative behaviors toward the
organization and the individuals working in Organization. Which is the reason
for the failure of change programs because of cynicism toward change programs
