Why humansitic approaches in HRD won't work
Date
2005
Abstract
Humanism has long been considered a cherished worldview underpinning human resource development. As such it occupies a privileged status within the field, and in the main, its central tenets have gone unchallenged, despite massive changes in the economic, sociological, and technological structure of work and society. This brief article challenges the preeminence of humanism and argues that the rhetoric of humanistic approaches is not matched by organizational actions of compressed career progression pathways, tight budgetary constraints, and a market driven economic philosophy.
