Description
The objective of this paper is to explore different concepts that relate to facilitating and measuring positive organisational development. It examines the positive change approach of appreciative inquiry, in order to explore the impact of appreciative inquiry on enhancing employee self-determination. Self-determination has been found to increase well-being and has been proposed as a framework for researching employee engagement. The proposed studies will examine this framework further, specifically in relation to autonomy support. Coaching is proposed as another important intervention for enhancing self-determination and employee engagement and also as a complementary technique for embedding and enhancing organisational change. The proposed studies to examine these relationships are described below.
