Please assist with the given:
Question 1: Explain the process of organizational development -
Question 2: Identify the theories associated with organizational development -
Question 3: Describe the conditions necessary for successful organizational change and development -
I have the definition below but don't understand the actual process.
"Organizational development is a set of behavioral science based theories, values, strategies, and technologies aimed at planned change of the organizational work setting for the purpose of enhancing individual development and improving organizational performance, through the alteration of organizational member's on-the-job behaviors(p. 722).
"First, the focus of organizational development is facilitating organizational changes that enhance both organizational performance and individual development. This distinguishes organizational development from organizational interventions that focus exclusively on enhancing either organizational performance or individual development. Second, organizational development is rooted in the theories and methodology of the behavioral sciences. Therefore, organizational development is different from approaches to organizational change that is based solely on changes in manufacturing technology or, perhaps, information systems. It is true, however, that organizational development can assist in the implementation of changes in manufacturing or information technology" (e.g., Barrett, Grant, & Wailes, 2005; Davidson, 2006). Finally, this definition makes it very clear that the key to organizational change is changing the behavior of employees.
