Dent and Goldberg argue that Lewin’s notion of resistance to change has been misunderstood, and that the proper focus should be at the systems level. That is, work takes place within a system of role, attitudes, norms, and other factors, and thus, resistance to change should be viewed as an issue or problem for the whole organizational system, rather than focusing on individual employees. This argument is similar to that put forward by proponents of the High Performance Work System concept, which we will cover at the end of this chapter. Dealing with individual-level change is clearly vital, but this also needs to be understood and handled within the context of changes and forces operating within an organization as a whole.
