Similar to the HRM process used by Bowen and Ostroff (2004), the HRD process is at the focus of the present study. It will be explored by looking at the elements of the HRD system that aid employees in recognizing the expected responses collectively. Implications of the HRD process show how HRD can be designed or administrated. Even though learning and development interventions are aimed to enhance individual, group and organizational performance (Yamnill & McLean, 2001), the present study focuses on the performance of the individual employee's behavior and not on group or organizational performance
