Abstract

Resistance to transformational change is seen as one of the major impediments to organizational growth and expansion, due to its negative repercussions. Even though change is implemented for positive reasons, its greatest setback is employee resistance. To a great extent, employee resistance arises due to certain risks like, the upsurge of redundancies, uncertainty, frustrations, fear of the unknown and transitional leadership incompetence. This study aims at identifying the Human Resource approaches that may probably minimize employee resistance and assist them to assimilate the benefits of migrating to a new work environment. The immediate goal is to enhance the employee ability to adapt to the change process with ease. Indeed the decline of employee resistance to change will help the commercial banks in Kenya to accomplish the envisioned banks competitive edge, while the ultimate goal is for them to meet the required Global banking standards. This study aims to review literature related to employee adaptability to transformational change with an aim of establishing gaps for further research.
