Abstract

The purpose of this study was to understand the factors which contribute to organisational change resistance by engineers in a civil engineering consulting organisation in order to better manage them in future. A questionnaire was sent out to employees and documents on the change were analysed to establish what these factors were and how they compared to literature. A number of steps the organisation should take during future organisational changes were put forth to assist in reducing employee resistance.
