Research Issues in OD Evaluation: Past, Present, and Future
回顾了组织发展评估从宏观到微观的研究演变,指出未来应解决当前分歧、测试新方法,并关注纵向研究中的时间间隔与测量跨度问题。
Early OD evaluation concerns at the macrolevel dealt principally with research design complexities. Current microlevel research is concerned largely with technical issues related to the accurate measurement of change. It is suggested that future evaluation research should continue this macro- to micro- evolution by (1) reconciling certain current differences and testing new methodologies; (2) drawing on studies dealing with time-order error; and (3) investigating questions of “time interval” and “measurement span” associated with longitudinal research designs.
