AN ORGANIZATIONAL CONCEPT OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT - HOW HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SCHOLARS VIEW HRD

HRD is an important topic of present time. It is considered by management professionals, as sub discipline of HRM, but many researchers have, broadened the scope and integrated the concept of HRD by looking it from socioeconomic angle and giving it other dimension such as physical, intellectual, psychological, social, political, moral and spiritual development. However HRM professionals view it, in organizational context. And from HRM scholars viewpoint HRD in narrow concept consists of activities of training, education and skill building though all these terms themselves have meanings broader and deeper than their usual perceptions and in broader concept besides these activities also comprise activities like empowerment, awareness raising, team building, community mobilization and development, organization development, entrepreneurship development, sensitization and conscientisation, human resources planning and policies.
