Abstract
Appreciative Inquiry (AI) has recently become a popular organizational intervention. A meta-analysis of 28 studies supports AI as an overall effective tool (d = .28) that is useful for improving performance, knowledge and skills, health, interpersonal, and attitudinal outcomes. Additionally, the effects of AI on interpersonal outcomes varied cross-culturally.
