Abstract
Despite the growing body of literature highlighting the uniqueness of nonprofit organizations, there is still a need for distinct professional knowledge about Organizational Development (OD) in this sector. This article attempts to address this gap by discussing key dilemmas faced by OD practitioners in the nonprofit sector in these times of world-wide economic recession: resource scarcity impediments to OD processes; OD practitioner over-involvement in the daily management of nonprofit organizations; OD practitioner ideological over-identification with client organizations. Finally, this article discusses implications for OD researchers and practitioners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
