What type of factors are considered in a Force Field Analysis?

  1. Only financial factors

  2. Helping and hindering factors

  3. Legal and ethical factors

  4. Market trends only

The correct answer is: Helping and hindering factors

Force Field Analysis is a strategic tool used to identify and analyze the forces that can influence a situation or change within an organization. It involves assessing both the driving forces, which facilitate change, and the restraining forces, which hinder change. The correct choice highlights that this analysis focuses on a comprehensive view of both helping and hindering factors impacting a proposed change. By understanding both sides, decision-makers can develop strategies to strengthen the helping factors while minimizing or mitigating the impact of the hindering ones. This holistic approach is crucial for effective change management, as it provides insights into not only what forces are pushing for change but also what challenges need to be addressed to successfully implement that change. In contrast, the other options narrow the focus to specific categories such as financial, legal, or market trends, which do not encompass the broader spectrum of influences that a Force Field Analysis aims to evaluate.
