| Abstract: | This paper challenges the dominant theoretical approaches adopted to study HRD and argues for a network/actor perspective. It reports the results of an exploratory, qualitative study of HRD actors' perceptions of HRD values, role expectations, and evaluation criteria. Using the data from this exploratory study, the authors examine: (1) how organizational actors understand the meaning, values, and purposes of HRD and the evaluation criteria used to assess the contribution of HRD, and (2) the issues involved in utilizing a network/actor perspective to understand and manage HRD within organizations. |
