The chief executive of a large telecommunications company wanted to restructure the organization so product leaders would have more power than the executives in charge of each region. The regional executives tried to prevent this restructuring just because it would weaken their power and reduce their salaries in the long term. This action by the regional executives is mainly an example of resistance due to:

Group of answer choices

Direct costs.

Incongruent organizational systems.

Saving face.

Breaking routines.

Fear of the unknown.
