B. INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY
HUMAN RESOURCE DE(ELOPMENT:
1)man reso)r$e develo%ment (130) deals 'ith $reatin* $onditions that enable
%eo%le to *et best o)t of themselves and their lives" 0evelo%ment is a never-endin* %ro$ess" As
%eo%le develo% themselves in ne' dire$tions, ne' %roblems and iss)es arise, re-)irin* them to
develo% ne' $om%eten$ies to meet the $han*in* re-)irements, as%irations and %roblems"
At the or*aniCation level, the *oal of 130 is normally to have $om%etent and
motivated %eo%le (em%loyees) to ens)re hi*her level of %rod)$tivity, %rofitability and *ro'th of
the or*aniCation" 6r*aniCations normally dire$t their 130 efforts to'ards the develo%ment of
$om%eten$ies, $)lt)re and $ommitment amon* em%loyees individ)ally or in *ro)%s"
6r*aniCations )se many me$hanisms to a$hieve 130 *oals, as 'itho)t $om%etent and
$ommitted em%loyees, or*aniCations $an a$hieve very little even if they have e/$ellent
te$hnolo*i$al and other reso)r$e bases"
#he most im%ortant and $ommon ob&e$tive of h)man reso)r$e develo%ment at all
levels is $om%eten$e- ($a%a$ity) b)ildin* for a healthy and ha%%y livin*"
#he 'orld has %ro*ressed in many )ni-)e 'ays and dire$tions in the last three
de$ades" It has develo%ed te$hnolo*i$ally, e$onomi$ally and ind)strially" It is also ri$her in terms
of h)man $a%abilities, fa$ilities and -)ality of livin*"
HRD A CONCEPT:
2eo%le ma(e thin*s ha%%en" If %eo%le have to ma(e thin*s ha%%en, they need a set of

$an hel% them and others in ma(in* thin*s ha%%en" 130 is the %ro$ess of enablin* %eo%le to

so$io-te$hni$al systems theory, and no' %ossibly holisti$ learnin* or*aniCations" Cherns (1A@!)
