Abstract
Numerous terms mean different things to different people engaged in organization development. This article helps O.D. practitioners recognize the differences regarding two such “faddish” terms, human productivity improvement (HPI) and employee engagement, and encourages researchers to more completely define such terms. By implication, it encourages practitioners to define their terms within their scope of work so that results might be more readily measured, hence more meaningful.
