Resistance to change is often treated as the shadow side of organizational change or control. In a sense, it is tethered to these constructs. However, it is important to liberate resistance from change and control, to recognize both its positive value in its own right and its conceptual contributions to dialectics and paradox. In this paper we present three examples of resistance that illustrate facets of these contributions. Our examples include the differing responses of evangelical Christians and Human Rights groups to lessening strictures on marriage by World Vision, a humanitarian aid association, Roman Catholic women religious' response to a Vatican Apostolic Visitation, and the steps taken by attorneys in Texas to enable prisoners convicted of murder to escape the death penalty but be sentenced to life in prison instead. These examples illustrate ways that resistance can surface deep rooted societal conflicts, can help foster and clarify identity, and sustain differences in ways that keep them salient. All of these highlight means through which resistance can generate productive dialectical and paradoxical processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
