Abstract

The research aims at investigating the effect of workplace friendship on the employees' resistance to change through gender as a moderator. A questionnaire was directed to 347 employees in 19 five-star hotels in Sharm-Elshiekh. Collected data was analyzed statistically by SmartPLS v.3. The research revealed that females' workplace friendship was found to be in negative correlation to resistance to change more than males. The research recommends using employees' friendship as a tool for decreasing resistance to change especially with females.
