Description
Human Resource Development: Critical Perspectives and Practices offers a fresh approach to understanding human resource development. This landmark textbook challenges conventional wisdom in the field by interrogating dominant paradigms and practices, providing critical alternatives and teaching readers how to critically assess HRD outcomes. The book addresses key issues of practice associated with relating, learning, changing, and organizing for organizations, while also acknowledging the importance for HRD professionals to reflect on their values and maintain their sanity in a challenging field. With its unique framework, this text provides an exciting alternative to instrumentalist, managerialist, and masculine perspectives. Designed for students and practitioners, Human Resource Development: Critical Perspectives and Practices is an essential resource for upper-level courses on human resource development, human resource management, and adult education.
