| | Force field analysis - Kurt Lewin. Team building change technique. |
 | | Force field analysis is a management technique developed by Kurt Lewin, a pioneer in the field of social sciences, for diagnosing situations. |
 | | Driving forces are those forces affecting a situation that are pushing in a particular direction; they tend to initiate a change and keep it going. |
 | | By doing this, however, new restraining forces developed, such as increased hostility and antagonism, and at the time of the former manager's departure the restraining forces were beginning to increase and the results manifested themselves in turnover, absenteeism, and other restraining forces, which lowered productivity shortly after the new manager arrived. |
