487 Pages. Brand New condition with flawless interior text pages. Employee skills and motivation are critical for organizational success. The pace and volume of modern change is increasing attention to the ways that human resource development (HRD) activities can be used to ensure that organization members have what it takes to meet their challenges. While there is solid evidence that HRD works, it is not a magic bullet. The challenges many organizations face are complex such as globalization and an increasingly diverse workforce. Unless those responsible for training and development make informed choices about the content of a developmental experience and the methods of delivering it, the results of many HRD efforts will fail to meet expectations. There is a growing base of theory, research, and practical experience to support HRD efforts. This book was written to help students, HRD professionals, and managers at all levels take advantage of this knowledge and experience. This book was written to serve primarily 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. The book covers the entire field of HRD 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 introduction for managers and supervisors who have had limited or no coursework or experience with HRD. Not only can they become better trainers and developers, they will become more informed consumers of the HRD efforts offered by their organizations. This Fifth Edition has been updated to reflect the thinking on HRD theory and practice that has taken place since 2005. Information from more than 675 new sources has been added.…
