Abstract
Five ethical dilemma categories faced by organizational development interventionists and client systems are presented. Relationships between the change agent and the client system are explored, utilizing the Katz and Kahn (1966) role theory perspective. Appropriate roles for both change agents and client systems are discussed in relation to the stages of change, using a process/relational model; and 31 specific ethical dilemmas are discussed in relation to their impact on the OD process.Keywords
