They resist change in the organisation for the following causes

1.They are in a state of shock when they hear about the change
2. They are not used to such a state of change,which turns their behavior to stubborn one
3.They are not willing to change because they feel insecure/not sure that the change is the 'right' one for them
4.Some people who are plain lazy also resist the change, they dont want to change their habits/behavior/etc

In a organisation people resist change because they feel insecure about the new environment.But, those who resist change don't know that change is the only thing which is constant and inevitable in this world.
There is a law called law of Inertia.Its first part states that everybody continues or tend to continue in its initial state!So is the mind of humans also!!

It's inherent in human character to oppose change. It's the main reason why most of the corporate houses employ 'change agent' to act as facilitators of change.As any sudden change evokes strongest reactions from the target groups, it is always advisable to take them into confidence and highlight the positive aspects of it.
Human psychology is like that.A change will not be accepted readily.

It is all game of perception. People feel comfortable with ongoing rules and regulations.For every change the mindset needs to change and it takes effort to adapt accordingly.Leaving that comfort level and putting oneself into new orbit is difficult as it is the human nature.If Difference between what you perceive and the outcome is in favour, the changes are welcomed and if it is against favour, it takes sometime to adjust.

Arise Awake and Rest Not till the Goal is Achieved.
The only reason I could find in this is that their selfish motive and they could think only about the things which is only going t0 benefit them rather then the organisation as a whole...
People are already adjusted with present set up and procedure. Some are beneficiary of the existing system. They resist any change out of sheer lethargy or vested interests inthe current system.

You are absolutely correct! Existence of vested interest is the biggest stumbling block in this regard.
I agree with Abid.Its our human psychology which does not resist the changes readily.It takes some time.
