Human Resource Development: Critical Perspectives and Practices is a groundbreaking textbook that significantly deviates from the conventional HRD textbooks available. It is based on Bierema and Callahans framework for critical human resource development, which aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of HRD that addresses both key and contentious issues related to organizational relationships, learning, change, and organization.
The book covers the fundamental principles of HRD, challenges the dominant paradigms and practices within the field, equips readers with the skills to critically evaluate HRD practices and outcomes, and presents critical alternatives. It also emphasizes HRD as a contested domain and the importance of HRD professionals to reflect on their values, maintain their sanity, and retain their employment while striving to fulfill their challenging responsibilities that serve multiple stakeholders.
The text incorporates Points to Ponder, Case in Point, and Tips & Tools features and exercises, providing readers with insights into HRD issues across different regions. This critical text offers an exciting alternative to the instrumentalist, managerialist, and masculine perspectives found in other books. It is particularly designed for students and practitioners, making it an essential reading for upper-level courses in human resource development, human resource management, and adult education.
