Abstract: Abstract Organization development (OD) can be defined as the application of knowledge adapted from the behavioral sciences that inspired the humanist and socio-technical movements. OD interventions are aimed at simultaneously increasing both short and long-term organizational effectiveness by means of improving processes and structures that support individual, group and system advancement. At the heart of OD is a focus on creating a learning environment designed to sustain improvements throughout the organization. As such, OD constitutes the conceptual basis of MBV.
