The purpose of this article is
to provide an empirical basis
for understanding the issue of
resistance within knowledge
intensive firms. The paper initially
provides a theoretical investigation
identifying the research gap
within the literature. The research
gap further is explored through
an empirical research. Research
findings derive from the analysis of
11 in-depth interviews taken from
a new media consultancy in UK.
Moreover, the findings distinctively
support that, staff resistance is
beyond previously (traditional)
assumed polar distinctions. In that
way, the investigation illustrates
that, staff resistance combines
opposing meanings of their actions.
Thus, it is revealed new aspects of
employees resistance within the
case organization, a knowledge
intensive firm (KIF).
