Relating intended HRD to perceived HRD has shown the importance of employees' perceptions. In contrast to Liao et al. (2009), the present study shows that intended and perceived HRD have a positive relationship with each other. Therefore, asking HR managers about the HRD processes present in their organization might be a good indication of how positively employees perceive HRD processes in their organization. Organizations can use this information in targeting interventions, making sure HR managers' efforts are understood correctly.
