Yes! Psychology plays a key role when it comes to understanding how organizations function and develop over time - especially when it comes to understanding individuals within these contexts and their impact on groups and systems as a whole. Many authors use psychological theories when writing about OD topics such as motivation theories or group dynamics theories among many others.

Depending on your topic areas there are different types of research methods accepted by OJD reviewers ranging from quantitative data collection such as surveys or experiments through qualitative approaches like interviews or focus groups which may be used if exploring subject matters relating more closely with subjective matters rather than statistical importance. Mixed methods are also common where both quantitative and qualitative processes are used together. As always we suggest reading previous issues featuring similar topics while considering what kind of methodology best suites your own goals before submitting manuscripts for consideration.
