Description

The purpose of this paper is to assess the effect of positive Organization Development (OD) on teachers and staff members and to illustrate the processes by which OD can take effect in schools. Using OD, I organized a two-day seminar for elementary and junior high school teachers and staff members at a private school. We practiced Appreciative Inquiry (AI), which is the most widely used positive OD technique. After the seminar, I assessed its effect over a period of one month by interviewing participants individually and performing qualitative data analysis. The findings of this paper are the following: (1) by developing a Foundation for Pursuing School Goals (FPSG), teachers and staff members became more aware of the School Goals and undertook action to achieve them (2) by developing a Foundation for Developing Communicative Relationships between Colleagues (FDCRC) they became more communicative, and as a result, more aware of the necessity of communicating with colleagues and better able to implement the ideas that arise from their discussions.
