Organization Development Interventions of Asilo de San Vicente de Paul, 2015-2018: A Developmental Study
Abstract
This research is a developmental study of the different organization development (OD) interventions undertaken by Asilo de San Vicente de Paul and the documentation of the current stakeholders’ experiences. Specifically, it documents and develops a holistic understanding of all the OD interventions undertaken by ASVP from 2015–2018 and recommends further OD intervention plans to be undertaken by the organization from 2019 to 2021. This is a qualitative research using Appreciative Inquiry (AI) developed by David Cooperrider (1987), utilizing the four cycles of AI, namely: Discovery, Dream, Design, and Destiny as a method in gathering data from the participants through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and Key Informant Interviews (KIIs). The results reveal that the OD interventions implemented by the ASVP within the past 3 years were generally beneficial in terms of enriching the spirit of service and volunteerism and in giving focus on the Vincentian values among its stakeholders. However, areas that need improvement are on the following: administration and management, human resource management, and financial management. The results of the research are the basis for the recommendations, specifically, an OD Intervention Plan for ASVP for 2019–2021.
