We investigated how Appreciative Inquiry (AI), an intervention of OD is actually applied effectively in the promotion team after an AI project. Most researches in AI have been evaluated immediately in and after the training activities. And they are conducted from OD practitioners. Scholars in AI have criticized subjective results and restricted from single and subjective perspective. Therefore, we took the promotion team as our subject and observed how they practically interacted in each one-hour monthly meeting during 18 months of intervention period. We recorded their meetings and analyzed two ones, before and end of AI. Linguistic results show that member's speaking is increasing. The words of content are shortening and the speed of speaking is accelerating. They use more questions to get more information. Non-linguistic results show that the pauses of speaking and the frequency of laughing are increasing and the time is shorting. We conclude that we could take behaviors of interaction as a method to evaluate AI effectiveness. |
