Human Resource Development is a comprehensive textbook designed to meet the requirements of postgraduate management students specializing in HR, as also students of Master of Human Resource Management (MHRM).
Written in a student-friendly style, the book covers concepts and research in the field, with special focus on application. HRD theories and their applicability are elucidated with a large number of examples, illustrations, formats, and exhibits to help students grasp the concepts.
The book has also been specifically designed to enhance student learning. Opening and closing case studies in each chapter serve to emphasize the relevance of the content and reinforce the concepts learnt. The chapters are divided into three parts: Part 1 explains the HRD framework through discussions on organization, performance and its determinants, competence and competency mapping, and the concept of HRD as an effective technique to augment human and organizational growth. Part 2 on training systems covers pre-training work, designing curriculum, pedagogy and andragogy, and the principles of learning, evaluating training, and post-training work for making training effective. Part 3 on development initiatives focuses on developing commitment and motivation, collaboration, and the multi-source assessment or 360-degree feedback system. It closes with a chapter on research in HRD, approaches to HRD research, and the statistical packages used for HRD research.
Owing to its comprehensive coverage and approach, HR managers and consultants too will find the book a handy reference, as it would aid them to effectively employ HRD programmes for better organizational performance.
