Abstract: The purpose of this article is to understand and develop a construct of organisational health (OH) derived from factors identified from the literature review. 40 experts and organisational development consultants have responded to this construct to test the internal consistency, confirm the factor structure and assess convergent and divergent validity of the construct. Post factor analyses of certain factors with load less than 0.5 were removed, and the rest were retained. The research provides the details of the influence of these factors on organisational health. This study aims at establishing factors influencing organisational health, consequently leading to an integrated organisational health model. Very few firms have understood the significance of organisational health; they do not know what to measure due to the absence of understanding of what constitutes factors of organisational health.
