Abstract

Organization development (OD) initiatives should align with the philosophical perspectives of the organization. Cognitive philosophical perspective organizations should use cognitive OD initiatives within its organizational culture to develop people and technology. Some cognitive OD initiatives include teaching, training, learning, procedures and processes, and motivation. Organizations that operate within the behavioral philosophical perspective focus more on the technology impact rather than employee role. The ethical and legal implications of behavioral OD initiatives are important. Organizations that operate form the cultural philosophical perspectives should consider how cultural OD initiatives are influenced by both internal and external cultures. Ethical employees, ethical workplace environments, and ethical use of technology are also discussed.
