Support Involves speaking on behalf of the change effort without taking any other explicit actions to promote the effort.
Apathy Represents a neutral zone in which individuals know about the change effort and engage in no behavior either to support or oppose it.

Active resistance Involves behaviors that block or impede change, usually by behaving in ways that contradict the goals of the change effort.

Individuals may view change as a threat, fearing it will adversely affect them in some significant way.

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

Individuals may view change as potentially positive but may still resist because they believe that the organization's management is mishandling the change process.

Individuals may believe in the change effort but still believe that the change is not likely to succeed.
