Abstract

This reaction begins with three positive aspects of the article: (a) effects of cultural differences on HRD interventions; (b) shaping and skilling as separate HRD outcomes, and (c) unlearning or deskilling as HRD outcomes. In terms of critique, Wang and Doty emphasize open and closed systems but fail to provide clear definitions. Indeed, some aspects of closed systems appear in Western or more “open” societies. Another issue, reducing usability of this work, involves the mathematical formulations. An HRD practitioner and emerging scholar living in China adds some critique, suggesting that China may be better characterized as a semi-closed system. Further, based on experience, positive outcomes can result from closed shaping and negative skilling-in a closed host institution system (HIS). Nevertheless, the manuscript can hopefully lead to some new explorations in HRD research and theory and potentially practitioner use.

扩展背景下人力资源开发实践的理论化:应邀反应

这种反应从文章的三个积极方面开始:(a)文化差异对人力资源发展干预的影响;(b)将塑造和技能培训作为单独的人力资源开发成果，以及(c)将学习或技能培训作为人力资源开发成果。在批判方面，Wang和Doty强调开放和封闭的系统，但没有给出明确的定义。事实上，封闭系统的某些方面出现在西方或更“开放”的社会中。另一个问题，降低了这项工作的可用性，涉及到数学公式。一位生活在中国的人力资源开发从业者和新兴学者提出了一些批评，认为中国可能更适合被描述为一个半封闭的体系。此外，根据经验，在封闭的收容机构系统(HIS)中，封闭的塑造和消极的技能可以产生积极的结果。尽管如此，该手稿有望在人力资源开发研究和理论以及潜在的实践应用方面带来一些新的探索。

期刊介绍： As described elsewhere, Human Resource Development Review is a theory development journal for scholars of human resource development and related disciplines. Human Resource Development Review publishes articles that make theoretical contributions on theory development, foundations of HRD, theory building methods, and integrative reviews of the relevant literature. Papers whose central focus is empirical findings, including empirical method and design are not considered for publication in Human Resource Development Review. This journal encourages submissions that provide new theoretical insights to advance our understanding of human resource development and related disciplines. Such papers may include syntheses of existing bodies of theory, new substantive theories, exploratory conceptual models, taxonomies and typology developed as foundations for theory, treatises in formal theory construction, papers on the history of theory, critique of theory that includes alternative research propositions, metatheory, and integrative literature reviews with strong theoretical implications. Papers addressing foundations of HRD might address philosophies of HRD, historical foundations, definitions of the field, conceptual organization of the field, and ethical foundations. Human Resource Development Review takes a multi-paradigm view of theory building so submissions from different paradigms are encouraged.
