AbstractThe purpose of this study was to explore women district leader's perceptions of organizational change in a rural women's education and empowerment program in India, using an appreciative inquiry framework. This is a qualitative case study of the Mahila Samakhya (MS) program, which was initiated to provide non-formal education and empower rural women in India. The program implements activities in 11 states among the 29 states of India. Previous studies have been conducted on the MS program, investigating facets in single states. These studies primarily focused on narratives and experiences of rural women based on inquiries in one of the states of India. These studies did not attempt to highlight the multi-faceted organizational processes, especially organizational change, undertaken in the MS program over the past two decades. As a result, there is limited knowledge regarding the comprehensive organizational practices of the MS women district leaders, key implementation units, working in a Government Organized Non-governmental Organization (GONGO). This study combined the conceptual framework of Appreciative Inquiry with the theoretical framework of organizational change particularly using Senge's Learning Organization. During the current phase of the organizational change in the MS program, the 5-D model of the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) was used as a conceptual framework for exploring themes of definition, discovery, dream, design, and destiny. For this study, the MS women district leaders, with five or more years of experience, working in the 11 MS states of India, at the district level, were purposefully chosen as interview participants. These district leaders work at the middle (meso) level of the organization and are positioned at the critical level of implementing initiatives for the GONGO. A qualitative interview protocol was developed using the 5-D model for structured, semi-structured, and unstructured interviewing. Interviews were conducted with 28 district women leaders. The data from the interviews was analyzed using AI's 5-D framework. This study has a threefold purpose: it provides insights to understand the challenges faced by women in managing a women's organization, managerial and administrative tasks; furthermore, it indicates disconnect between policies and implementation of organizational change in a GONGO organization; and, it contributes toward our current understanding of the organizational changes emerging in a rural GONGO educational program from a developing country. Recommendations for the MS organization, policy-makers, and future research are also discussed. The study could be used by policymakers to discern the trajectory of the Mahila Samakhya program, that has served as unique model for GONGO.
