How
to Use Ethnography : Organizational Development Studies
Understanding the employee experience is increasingly important, as organizations
constantly evolve to keep up with the marketplace. Honest feedback from employees
is often hard to come by, though. Organizational Development Studies use ethnography
to uncover employees' true behaviors, attitudes and emotions about the workplace.
These studies vary greatly in focus – they can be organization-wide, or target
a particular department or small group of people. The objectives range from very
broad, to gauge how people feel, to very specific, focusing on a particular issue.
The results vary depending on the scope of the study itself.
