Abstract
This study attempted to investigate the effects of PM organizational development (PMOD) in super market organization.
The main results were as follows:
(1) Two stores were facilitated by PMOD (Experimental stores), and experimental stores produced more effectiveness than control stores (35 stores)
(2) There were two groups of supervisors; those who participated in PM sensitivity traning course (PMST groups) and the others who did not (non-PMST groups). So in PMST-groups was shown more effectiveness than in non-PMST-groups.
(3) The effects of PM survey feedback and PMST were also examined on the leadership scores and the cognitive discrepency scores between selfrating and rating by surbordinates. PMST groups were higher in the score of leadrship P and lower in the score of the cognitive discrepancy of leadership M. But PM survey feedback effect was not clear.
(4) There was a difference of organizational leadership structure between two experimental stores. One was P-type leadership structure andother was M-type leadership structure. But after PMOD, two stores had become to PM-type leadership structure equally.
