Organizational Concepts of HRD
Livingstone and Raykov (2005) quoting some studies analyzed that with the current expansion of
the global economy and the fast-changing evolution of technology and innovation, organizations
are facing an ongoing need for employee learning and development. As knowledge increasingly
becomes a key factor for productivity, it has also become a currency for competitive success.
Understanding factors that contribute to organizational learning and the transfer of knowledge
to the workplace environment are essential to human resource development (HRD). The culture
and environment of an organization can influence the types and numbers of learning-related
events and employee job satisfaction as well as employee motivation to transmit newly
acquired knowledge to the workplace context.
