Modifying the structure of the organizations, goals, technology, duties, and so forth could be the factors in changing the organization. Many organizations undertake changes as a real challenge. Either success or failure of the changes made by the organization depends on human resources (Januarti & Bunyaanudin, 2006). Yousef (2000) states that the behavior of the changes has three different dimensions namely cognitive tendency, affective and trends in behavior.
