Human Quality Development (HQD) for Corporate Development & Management

Abstract

The concept of Human Resource Development is rooted in the worldview of humans as factors of production and as assets for organizations. It is largely rooted in the 'skills' oriented view of the organizations. Chakraborty (1990) emphasized the need for inclusion of 'values' view along with the skills. Hence, he suggested the idea of 'Human Response Development' by exploring the application of transformational values at the workplace. Sharma (1996) suggested the need to move beyond the narrow definition of humans as factors of production to a broader definition.
