What is the primary goal of organizational development?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Organizational Development (OD) is defined in HRPA materials as a long-term, planned, systemic effort, grounded in behavioural science, aimed at improving organizational effectiveness and the well-being of its members. While OD may use structural adjustments (A) or process changes (B) as interventions, its primary aim is broader: culture, processes, and human systems are developed through planned change to enhance both organizational results and people outcomes. Option D captures responsiveness but not the developmental, system-wide, and people-centred focus central to OD.

I’m torn between C and B. I know efficiency is important, but I think the focus should be on overall effectiveness and well-being.

I feel like A and D are more about reacting to changes, while C seems to capture the essence of organizational development better.

I remember a practice question that focused on structural changes, but I’m not sure if that’s the primary goal here.
