Abstract
Edgar H. Schein’s contributions to the field of organizational studies are far reaching. He was one of the first to formulate the field of organizational psychology in 1965, and he led the development of the field of organization development (OD) through his editorship of the pioneering Addison-Wesley OD series in 1969. He framed a philosophy of being helpful through process consultation and humble inquiry, articulated the experience of the organizational career, and framed a model of organizational culture and how it operates in complex systems.
