Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a commentary on “Status quo bias and resistance to positive behaviour support: implications for leaders” and to extend the conversation regarding potential change agents to address resistance. Design/methodology/approach This commentary provides discussion stimulated by the Ntinas’s (2022) paper regarding resistance to the implementation of positive behaviour support (PBS). Findings Contextual fit is highlighted as a consideration related to the implementation of PBS, with a view to mitigating resistance. A range of factors linked to supporting good contextual fit are discussed. Originality/value This paper provides the perspective of a PBS practitioner with experience of implementing PBS across a range of settings. Recognition is given that further empirical evidence is required to confirm the utility of contextual fit to address resistance.
