Roles, Relationships, and Activities of Internal Training and Organization Development Practitioners in Illinois Hospitals

"Study results indicate that: a number of the activities and roles were consistently conducted by both sets of practitioners; some ""traditional"" OD activities are not conducted by the internal practitioners; there are different roles and expectations for the internal and external OD practitioner; OD practitioners' positions are consistently higher in the hierarchical positioning and have a higher level of status than the Trainer counterparts. The information obtained in this study provides colleges and universities, individuals preparing themselves for either an OD or Training positions, and those currently in these positions, a representation of the expectations required to fulfill organizational needs."
