Abstract: Arts-based interventions (ABIs) have been used for a variety of intertwined human resource and organization development purposes. This integrative literature review explores what participatory ABIs in organizations--those which engage participants in diverse areas and levels of an organization's structures in making/performing art--produce in terms of developing human capacities in organization change efforts. Included empirical studies illustrate the practical aspects and potential value of implementing participatory ABIs for developing workers' personal-professional capacities in ways that also facilitate adapting to fluid organizational ecologies. Our findings and discussion explore the implications of participatory ABIs for developing aesthetic being, knowing, and doing as personal-professional capacities impacting how organization change happens.
