The topic areas used to develop items for this survey questionnaire are derived from the research questions developed through the literature review. The research questions that guide this study are as follows:
Organizational Development (OD) has become more and more important for today’s organizations because the world is moving so fast that organizations have to find ways to be more effective, more innovation, more customer-driven, and more agile. Cumming and Worley (1997) define organizational development as “a process that applies a broad range of behaviour science knowledge and practices to help organizations build their capacity to change and to achieve greater effectiveness”. Therefore, OD will help organizations understand how people act to change and which change methods can work with the resistance to change that usually occurs in organizations undergoing change. In the study of organizational development, it is
Data to be analyzed includes interview transcriptions as well as general observations, and reflections of each interview. Interviews will be recorded via audiotape and later transcribed for analysis. Initial data analysis will occur after each interview, and the researcher will write a brief reflection of the interview focusing on common themes, categories, patterns, and relationships. Preliminary reviews may reveal areas that the researcher overlooked in the interviews and allow time to address these topics in future interviews. Initial themes and categories identified in the data will help the researcher develop codes to be used later for a systematic analysis of the data.

Theories of planned change describe the activities necessary to modify strategies, structures, and processes to increase organizations effectiveness. However, critics have suggested several problems with the way planned change is carried out (Cummings & Worley, 2009, p. 42). Their concerns are not with the many planned change models but how change takes place and with the qualifications and activities of ODPs (Cummings & Worley, 2009). Many ODPs have skills in a specific technique, such as team building, total quality management, (AI), large group interventions, or gain sharing, and have chosen to specialize in that method
In today’s environment it’s very important that employees feel like they are able to speak up within the company when they have something to provide or if they have any concerns. When companies allow employees to have a voice, it keeps the communication channel open which helps to improves the willingness for employees to give ideas that can that can improve organizational functions (Detert & Burris, 2007). While this is a benefit to the employer and employees, most employees don’t feel they work in an environment like this where they are free to voice their concerns. Today we are going to discuss how I as the HR manager will address the concerns that one of my employees has with his manager. First, I will discuss the steps I will take
Organizational development (OD) is an application or process of building a greater level of efficiency within the organization. OD develops the ongoing effort geared for long-term effects. OD works to help management and employees on a variety of levels. Organizational development is perhaps unequaled in its ability to meet any type of organization needs.
