Yeo, Jessica Li","doi":"10.22324/IJHRDPPR.4.103","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22324/IJHRDPPR.4.103","url":null,"abstract":"The paper aims to discuss the potential of improving individual readiness for informal learning through the understanding of learning orientation. Learning orientation is how individuals engage in learning as determined by their self-concept, experience, learning readiness, learning sense, and learning motivation. A person’s learning orientation is influenced by contextual factors affecting individual learning capacity. In turn, learning orientation is facilitated by problem solving, sensemaking, and mental framing, particularly when individuals are confronted by challenges outside their work routine. Problem solving can facilitate individuals’ sensemaking of circumstances by enhancing their mental framing, which may support or hinder their subsequent problem solving experience. Problem solving is a cognitive process that influences the way individuals interpret a situation for further action. Sensemaking is a spontaneous interpretive process while mental framing is more of a decision making process generating potential scenarios and actions. The paper offers implications for Human Resource Development (HRD) research and practice.","PeriodicalId":293451,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Human Resource Development Practice Policy & Research","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132601935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Developing a Competency-Based Credentialing Framework for National Human Resource Development","authors":"V. Krishna","doi":"10.22324/ijhrdppr.4.102","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22324/ijhrdppr.4.102","url":null,"abstract":"The United Nations has frequently highlighted the role of human resource development as a remedy for undeveloped and underdeveloped countries to overcome their economic deficits. In the last two decades, there has been a growing interest in applying national human resource development (NHRD) for capacity building and economic growth. However, much of the focus of NHRD has been on structures and delivery rather than on outcomes, competency evaluation, and performance. Historically, countries have relied on educational offerings to supply human capital. There is a growing concern that the educational world is not preparing people for the ‘newer’ jobs. This disconnect between education and employment has led to an increased emphasis on industry aligned credentialing systems. Based on the premise that performance-based assessments are integral to a competency-based education system, this paper links education and employment by industry-recognized personnel certification and presents a credentialing framework to support NHRD. The framework integrates all credentials from high school diplomas to degrees, apprenticeships, vocational training, and certification. The implications for NHRD are tremendous considering the impact on economic development.","PeriodicalId":293451,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Human Resource Development Practice Policy & Research","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122349442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there remains limited empirical data addressing the relationship between the adoption of a competency framework and organizational performance. The study reported upon in this paper is based within the Nigerian banking sector. A qualitative methodological approach was adopted, employing interviews with employees of the top ten high street banks in Nigeria. The result of the field data was subsequently analyzed using NVivo in order to achieve the aim of the research. The findings revealed that competency-based management frameworks are being used and that indeed they are a key management tool within the selected Nigerian banks. Importantly, the findings clearly suggest the adopted competency frameworks are having a positive impact on the banks’ performance.","PeriodicalId":293451,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Human Resource Development Practice Policy & Research","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115478113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
