In today's circumstances, global competition has almost affected every business or organization. As a result of competition, change in the organization can be considered a necessity. Accordingly, businesses must work as an open system and make decisions to make changes that are appropriate to the new circumstances that have been created in the business environment. Given that organizational changes are necessary for the survival of the enterprise, then this process must be managed with special care, without neglecting the parties that may be affected by these changes. Change is a painful process, because it aims to change individual and organizational habits; regardless of the severity of the changes, it will always encounter resistance from the employees of the organization. Employee resistance is considered one of the main obstacles in this process. Succeeding in this process, requires understanding the reasons why employees show resistance to change and taking preventive measures to mitigate this resistance. Thereupon, in this paper, an effort has been made to understand the reasons of employees' resistance, to understand the ways of their resistance, as well as the factors that can help mitigate the resistance of employees who work in local businesses in Kosovo. In order to provide data related to the goals of this paper, direct interviews were conducted with 10 employees of large category businesses. In this paper, a qualitative research method was used, using the "case study" model. For data analysis, the "MAXQDA 2020" program was used, with which codes and categories were created, while the frequencies of these codes were obtained from these results. In addition to the frequencies of the codes, the answers of the employees regarding the reasons for the resistance are also presented. The results of this study have presented important data regarding employee resistance. From the findings of this paper, a number of reasons have been identified as to why employees of organizations show resistance. The forms of how these employees react to changes have also been identified. On the other hand, some techniques have been identified on how the management of the organization can use them to reduce the resistance of the employees.

Limited as a case study for understanding the nature of employees' resistance to change, Zhang (2019) identified changes in organizational structure, personnel, technology, and culture as categories when dealing with change management.…”

Seventy percent of organizations fail in their organizational change initiatives because of failure to involve employees in the change process. Some managers lack the strategies to implement change initiatives successfully. Using Kotter’s eight-step change model as the conceptual framework, this qualitative case study was conducted to explore public sector managers’ strategies to include employees in implementing organizational change. Semi-structured interviews were used to identify public sector managers’ strategies that include employees in implementing organizational change. Interviews were conducted with eight participants who met the inclusion criteria for this study. Data analysis included methodological triangulation and Yin’s five-phase data analysis. The five resulting principal themes are effective communication, creating and sustaining employee engagement, leadership style effect, developing training programs and processes, and strengthening organizational culture. The findings indicate that managers should focus on how well their subordinates understand the overarching goals of the vision and mission of change initiatives. These findings have potential implications for positive social change that include catalyzing employees to have a healthier attitude at work, have a better sense of work–life balance, and have a sense of belonging. Understanding the contribution of an engaging workforce may enable organizations to improve performance and profits by catalyzing monetary and non-monetary contributions to benefit citizens.
