PREFACE

Employee skills and motivation are critical for organizational success. This has always been true, but the pace and volume of modern change is drawing increased attention to the ways that human resource development (HRD) activities can be used to ensure that organization members have what it takes to successfully meet their challenges. While there is solid evidence that HRD works, it is not a magic bullet. The challenges many organizations face are complex, and new dimensions, such as globalization and an increasingly diverse workforce, make it more difficult to ensure HRD efforts will succeed. Unless those responsible for training and development make informed choices about the content of a develop- mental experience and the methods of delivering it, the results of many HRD efforts will fail to meet expectations.

Fortunately, there is a growing base of theory, research, and practical experi- ence to support HRD efforts. We wrote this book to help students, HRD profes- sionals, and managers at all levels take advantage of this knowledge and experience. We firmly believe that if they do so, they will increase their effectiveness, along with that of individuals with whom they work and the organizations of which they are a part.

Intended Audience. We wrote Human Resource Development to serve primar- ily as a comprehensive text for undergraduate and graduate courses in business, management, public administration, educational administration, and other fields that prepare individuals to train and develop other people. As such, the book:

• Covers the entire field of HRD (as defined by two different competency stud- ies by the American Society for Training and Development), from orientation and skills training, to career development and organizational development

• Provides a clear understanding of the concepts, processes, and practices that form the basis of successful HRD

• Shows how concepts and theories can and have been put into practice in a variety of organizations

• Focuses on the shared role of line management and human resource specialists in HRD

• Reflects the current state of the field, blending real-world practices and up-to-date research

In addition to being an appropriate text for academic courses, this book is an excellent resource for HRD professionals. It can serve as a comprehensive intro- duction for managers and supervisors who have had limited (or no) coursework or experience with HRD. Not only can they become better trainers and devel- opers, they will become more informed consumers of the HRD efforts offered by their organizations.

Pedagogical Features. We have included a number of pedagogical aids in the text to enhance student learning and interest. These aids include:

• Learning objectives and opening questions at the beginning of each chapter

• An opening case in each chapter that places the contents of the chapter into a meaningful context

• Illustrations, examples, and boxed inserts throughout the book to help readers better assimilate the information

• A return to the opening case to provide closure and show how the chapter con- tents may be used to address the issues in the case

• A list of key terms and concepts at the end of each chapter

• End-of-chapter discussion questions to stimulate thought and provide students with an opportunity to discuss and apply the information in the chapter

• Exercises have been included in every chapter to provide further experience with applying materials from the text, or to see how the materials relate to a real-world setting

• A glossary of key terms and concepts is included at the end of the book

Numerous examples from organizations, along with perspectives offered by organization leaders and HRD professionals, are used to reinforce concepts and demonstrate the importance of effective HRD to organizational success.

New to the Sixth Edition. The sixth edition of this book has been updated to reflect the research and thinking on HRD theory and practice that has taken place since 2008. Information from more than 1,200 new sources has been added. Some examples of material added to the sixth edition are:

• A new case on the strategic HRD efforts at Kasikorn Bank of Thailand, plus updated discussions of ethical dilemmas in HRD, as well as certification as a learning professional (Chapter 1)

• Updated discussion of the many influences on employee behavior to include recent research (Chapter 2)

• A new case on learning and development at Caterpillar, Inc., plus a continued emphasis on individual learning styles and preferences, along with an updated discussion of how technology changes employee learning (Chapter 3)

• Revised discussions of needs assessment activities, especially in relation to changes caused by technological advances (Chapter 4)

• Updated information concerning the use of particular training topics and approaches used to design training and other HRD interventions (Chapter 5)

• A new case on Colliers International, plus updated coverage of major meth- ods of providing HRD programs, with expanded emphasis on experiential and computer-based training (Chapter 6)

• An emphasis on a stakeholder approach to HRD evaluation, and an expanded Kirkpatrick evaluation framework, while maintaining the emphasis on the use of

We have worked hard to maintain the elements that made the previous edi- tions a useful and meaningful resource to students and practitioners, including clear writing, a comprehensive approach to HRD, a strong research base, and a balance between theory, research, and practice. To promote ease of reading, yet still provide easy access to the reference materials, all citations are included as endnotes at the end of the book.
