Changing SOP's

Hi All,

I have experienced it many times in the past where new guys start with a company and they want to change the SOP's to what they had elsewhere. I don't think it usually has anything to do with safety or an efficiency as much as they might preach that line but rather just not liking change. In airlines its a matter of the new guys having to adjust, however in smaller GA and corporate companies oversight and enforcement can be more difficult. You hear things like "we do that when we fly with the chief but when we fly we prefer to do it this way".

Is anyone familiar with any studies or research that may have been conducted about this?
