520 $aOrganizational diagnosis produces the road maps that guide and direct organizational change interventions. To generate better understanding and appreciation of the diagnostic process, this unique volume illustrates methods and models used by prominent behavioral science practitioners; demonstrates the breadth and complexity of the process, initiated from individual, group, and organizational levels; and explores a more integrated approach to diagnosis suited to an era of sweeping organizational change.
520 8 $aThe book approaches organizational diagnosis from three different perspectives: (1) macro views of organizations, (2) contributions of individuals, and (3) management and motivation in the high-involvement workplace. The practitioner as diagnostic instrument looks down from the pinnacles of leadership, while the personnel-centered diagnostician views groups of individuals as mirrors of the organization's nature and style.
520 8 $aDiagnostic models for organization development and emerging organizational firms set the stage for diagnosing cultures for realignment and designing effective reward systems. The broadening focus of training needs assessment and strategic methods for addressing future staff requirements place the spotlight on human talent, while diagnostic issues for work teams emphasize the growing importance of groups.
520 8 $a. The assembled authors - all experienced, sophisticated human resources practitioners - describe actual experiences of both the process and content of organizational diagnosis and illustrate their accounts with practical case examples. In the conclusion of the volume, the authors collaborate to consider how behavioral science practitioners can advance toward the integration of organizational diagnosis.
520 8 $aThis volume is an essential resource and guide for all human resources professionals, as well as for students in organizational and industrial psychology, organizational behavior, human resources management, and related fields, and for managers seeking professional expertise to guide and direct organizational change.
