Abstract

Organizational development is concerned with improving organization effectiveness through the introduction of a number of concepts, techniques, and strategies that have evolved from behavioral science study and research. The organizational development approach involves a deliberately planned and managed effort to guide and utilize human resources in a manner so that individuals are motivated to work toward organizational objectives as a means of achieving their own goals. The techniques and strategies to be followed are determined through continual diagnosis of the prevailing circumstances.
