This article develops and tests the hypothesis that random assign ment to OD interventions has a negative impact on attitudes. Three published empirical studies using random assignment in work organizations are reviewed; the results were consistent with the hypothesis. The issues of negative attitudinal effects of random assignment are discussed.Keywords
