According to Schein, which approach would decrease learning anxiety?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

According to Schein, learning anxiety is the fear or discomfort that people experience when they are asked to learn something new or change their behavior. To decrease learning anxiety, change leaders should create psychological safety, which is the sense of trust and support that people feel when they are learning or changing. One way to create psychological safety is to encourage staff to try new things and experiment without fear of failure or punishment. The other options would increase learning anxiety, as they would create more pressure, stress, and negativity for the staff.

B) Encourage staff to try new things - Definitely the right call. Failure is part of learning, so we should embrace it, not punish it. Plus, it's just more fun that way!

D) Creating a sense that the organization might fail if the change is NOT made - Hmm, using fear as a motivator? I don't know, that seems a bit heavy-handed.

Reminding the stakeholders of all the times they have failed to change - That sounds like it would just make people more anxious about trying new things.
