Abstract

This study aims to identify attitudes and factors influencing resistance to change within educational organizations, as well as to formulate effective strategies for managing such resistance so that changes can be accepted and successfully implemented by all stakeholders in schools or madrasahs. This research employs a library research approach, utilizing various theoretical and empirical sources related to organizational behavior, leadership, and educational management. The results indicate that school or madrasah management must be sensitive and continuously improve their ability to understand and control resistance to change. Resistance often arises from fear of uncertainty, lack of communication, limited participation in decision-making, and misalignment between individual and institutional goals. To minimize resistance, leaders need to foster an open communication culture, provide professional development opportunities, and create an inclusive decision-making environment. Furthermore, school or madrasah principals play a strategic role in guiding the organization toward positive transformation by promoting collaboration, empowering teachers and staff, and ensuring that every change aligns with the institution’s vision and mission.
