Proposed Organization
Behavior Interventions
and Analysis

interventions are
mutually exclusive and
collectively exhaustive.
They should include a
rather comprehensive
range of possible
solutions. Intervention
should be strategic
and sustainable.

The proposed
interventions should
be linked to employee
satisfaction and overall
performance factors
such as productivity,
and profitability. These
should adhere to
sound ethical
practices.

Analysis of alternatives
considers cost,
acceptability to
management and the
employees, ease of
implementation,
timeliness, and
sustainability of
interventions.

interventions are
somewhat mutually

collectively

promising ones are
not included.

feasible but can be
improved in their
strategic content and
in their sustainability.

interventions are
somewhat linked to
employee
satisfaction and
overall performance
factors, but need to
be more aligned to
bringing about
productivity and
profitability. The

ethically sound and
are somewhat
articulated in the
