Abstract

ABSTRACT The bounds of the field of human resource development (HRD) have expanded beyond the individual and organizational levels of analysis to macro perspectives of HRD such as National, Regional, and Global HRD. In international development contexts, a comparable construct is used by development agencies and national governments to describe knowledge- and skill-building, i.e. capacity development (CD) or capacity building. To overcome the complexity and ambiguity involved in these two concepts in the extant literature, this conceptual article provides an overview of the conceptualization, objectives, levels, approaches, evaluation, and definitional analysis of CD. It then presents a comparison between the concepts of CD and HRD and highlights key similarities and differences. The paper concludes with implications for HRD research and practice as it relates to CD and a call for HRD scholars to support CD practice and policy through research and learn from CD practitioners in terms of understanding mechanisms for national, regional, and global development.

连接概念：弥合能力发展与人力资源开发之间的差距

摘要人力资源开发领域的范围已经从个人和组织层面的分析扩展到了人力资源开发的宏观视角，如国家、地区和全球人力资源开发。在国际发展背景下，发展机构和国家政府使用类似的结构来描述知识和技能建设，即能力发展或能力建设。为了克服现有文献中这两个概念的复杂性和模糊性，本文概述了CD的概念化、目标、水平、方法、评估和定义分析。然后对CD和人力资源开发的概念进行了比较，并强调了关键的异同。论文最后对与裁谈会有关的人力资源开发研究和实践产生了影响，并呼吁人力资源开发学者通过研究支持裁谈会的实践和政策，并在理解国家、区域和全球发展机制方面向裁谈会从业者学习。

期刊介绍： Human Resource Development International promotes all aspects of practice and research that explore issues of individual, group and organisational learning and performance. In adopting this perspective Human Resource Development International is committed to questioning the divide between practice and theory; between the practitioner and the academic; and between traditional and experimental methodological approaches. Human Resource Development International is committed to a wide understanding of ''organisation'' - one that extends through self-managed teams, voluntary work, or family businesses to global enterprises and bureaucracies. Human Resource Development International also commits itself to exploring the development of organisations and the life-long learning of people and their collectivity (organisation), their strategy and their policy, from all parts of the world. In this way Human Resource Development International will become a leading forum for debate and exploration of the interdisciplinary field of human resource development.
