Argyris' Intervention Theory: A Small-Group Application

Martha J. Dirks

Marcia K. Rottinghaus

Leonard M. Lansky

A case study of a consultation is presented that illustrates how two theories concerning organizational change and systems analysis were applied to a small, informal organization. The primary intervention tasks outlined by Argyris (1970) were applied throughout the consultation and the systems theory detailed by Katz and Kahn (1966) provided a con ceptual model for organizing and discussing the data. Systematic inter vention with small, less structured groups is advocated.
