What is organizational theory and design?
Organizational theory is the study of organizations as systems and the relationship of the many subsystems within them. In the Center for Creative Change, organizational theory and design focus on creating organizational systems that are productive, flexible and sustainable. Effective organizational design theories promote personal wellness and team spirit in the workplace along with efficient productivity.
Can a master's degree in organizational psychology lead to jobs in organizational development?
Yes. At Antioch, the study of organizational behavior and theory includes an experiential approach to organizational development. Organizational development is a subset of organizational psychology. Students apply organizational change theory in actual workplaces, moving from an increased awareness of their personal role in social change to a greater understanding of small group dynamics and methods for large group interventions. Graduates not only have a firm grounding in theory, they also have significant experience in organizational development practice.
