Organization development intervention and organizational performance: A case study of the SEED GROWERS Foundation in Ghana

There are numerous organizational development strategies available to assist organizations in becoming more effective. One of these strategies is organizational development diagnostic, which entails examining an organisation's current situation in order to decide the best course of action for future growth and development. The SEED GROWERS foundation was used as a case in this study to create evidence of the effects of organizational development intervention on organizational performance. To meet the study's aims, both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used, and data was gathered utilizing an organization capacity assessment instrument. The measure was developed using the Weisbord Six-Box Organizational Diagnosis Model, which comprises six variables: purpose, structure, connections, leadership, reward systems, and other helpful mechanisms. The outcome shows that the variables utilized in the assessment had a mean transformation score of 0.5, which is closer to the ideal score of one (1) than the pre-assessment mean score of 2.3. According to the computational results, the organizational development interventions were effective in moving the mean value closer to the ideal situation. Again, the Cohen's d test analysis score of 1.0 confirmed that the effect size of the transformation that happened as a result of the organizational development intervention is significant. What the above suggests is the effectiveness of organizational development intervention in fixing organizational problems, devising solutions, implementing, and assessing them. The report proposes that non-governmental organizations undergo organization development interventions on a regular basis in order to enhance their growth and development.
