Haslinda and Hiok (2009) by referring many studies narrated that researchers believe that the
debates are complicated by the beliefs and understanding of individual stakeholders and HRD
practitioners. Haslinda and Hiok are of the opinion that theorizing and modeling HRD worldwide
is a complex task and varies between countries. Although somewhat debatable, several studies
in both developed and developing countries have been undertaken to develop a descriptive
framework of HRD practices. These studies found that the nature and extent of HRD varies from
one country to another and is influenced by the economic, political, cultural, labor market and
educational systems of each individual country. In an attempt to explain human resource
development, numerous authors have debated the theoretical concepts of HRD, yet a distinctive
conceptual and theoretical identity has not been established.
