Which concept involves diagnosing organizational needs and designing interventions to improve overall performance?

• A. Organizational Diagnosis
• B. Job Enrichment
• C. Knowledge Management
• D. Smart Working

Answer: (A)

Organizational diagnosis involves a systematic assessment of how the organization is functioning and where it struggles, looking at structure, systems, processes, culture, and people. By gathering data through surveys, interviews, performance metrics, and observations, you identify gaps between current performance and desired outcomes, uncover root causes, and determine what needs to change. With this understanding, you design targeted interventions—such as realigning structure, redefining roles, redesigning processes, developing leadership, or adjusting incentives—and plan how to implement and evaluate them to lift overall performance. The other concepts focus on specific aspects rather than the whole-organization analysis and change: improving a single job’s content through enrichment; capturing and sharing knowledge across the firm; or adopting flexible, tech-enabled work practices.
