ORGANIZATION DEVELOPMENT: applies Adlerian principles to the workplace by
helping individuals, teams, and the overall structure of organizations to move
toward healthy patterns of functioning. Using Goal Directedness, Movement
and Conflict Resolution processes, for example, to aid in creating a strategic
vision and mission that helps members understand more fully their
responsibilities and accountabilities in the workplace. This provides them
a stronger sense on belonging and significance, which as a result increases
commitment and performance to their performance to their positions and
organizations. This section blends many practices together in creating a more
healthy work environment, increased job satisfaction, and performance for the
individual, team, and organization. Go to Section Page |
