Passive resistance A mild form of opposition that involves a willingness to voice reservation or even threatening to resign if the change goes through.
Active resistance Involves behaviors that block or impede change, usually by behaving in ways that contradict the goals of the change effort.

Individuals may understand that change brings both benefits and costs but feel that the costs far outweigh the benefits.
