Subject Areas :
1 - Tehran University
Keywords: Human Resources Development, Literature, Theory Building, Thinking Proceedings, Expectations from Theory, Thematic Analysis,
Abstract :
This article aims to conduct an integrative review of the theory building literature of human resource development in order to identify thinking Proceedings and applied learnings in the 28-year history of theory building. Literature Thematic analyze based on Creswell (2008) procedure and Callahan (2010) method has used for getting research goal. Research data has been scientific work about Human Resource Development include scientific article, paper, book chapter and conferences paper that published from 1990 to 2018. Criteria for choosing data has been theory building research in Human Resource Development, role of other scientific disciplines in Human Resource Development and theory development in Human Resource Development. Research data has been searched and selected in scientific databases. Data has included 183 article, paper and book chapter. In the next round articles and book chapters has studied and themes has extracted. Entirely 341 themes has extracted. The next step has been Coding, analyzing and recognizing the communicational model among the codes. The criteria for themes analyze has been Toulmin Intellectual Evolution Theory of Scientific Community (for identifying thinking Proceedings), Christopher Mabey Model (for identifying expectations from theory) and First Four Steps of Dubin’s Theory Building Model (for identifying HRD Functional framework in practice). The results include thinking Proceedings of theory building in Human Resource Development (Creating and Keeping Productivity, Increasing Productivity, Progressive Human, Progressive Institute, Creating Social Content), Expectations from Human Resource Development Theory in Practice (Instituting Development Thinking, Being in Adaption with Predominant Rationality, Being in Adaption with Diversity, Being Purposefully Synergic, Being Operative, Ethical Agency) and Functional framework Human Resource Development in Practice (Development Foundation, Development Approach, Development Methodology, Development Plan).
