| Abstract: | A model of organization development is proposed in which on-the-job behaviors of organization members act as important mediating variables of organizational change. A study seeking to identify and specify common behavior changes characteristic of successful change efforts is discussed. 42 of the top scholars and practitioners in the field were surveyed,using telephone interviews and open-ended questions. All participants nearly unanimously reported behavior changes common to their interventions and showed moderate agreement as to what those changes were. |
