Abstract :
The purpose of this article is to study the existing literature in the field of critical human resource development, which leads to the creation of a framework including concepts and theories related to this field. For this purpose, this research is written based on a systematic review method on existing research in this field. First, a large number of articles entitled Human Resource Development (HRD) were selected from reputable databases such as SAGE, Emerald Insight, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and then articles with the keyword critical or perspectives were selected and the rest were removed. After studying the remaining articles, 6 articles with richer literature were selected for review. The results showed that the critical human resource development approach means that learning and development activities are pursued with sufficient awareness of power relations, emotions and organizational policy in the form of the concept of critical learning. Also theories related to this approach include theories of self and work, learning at work, and emotion. Finally, in order to implement critical human resource development, organizational contexts, stakeholders, methods and processes in each of the four areas involved in critical human resource development, including relating, learning, changing and organizing, should be examined.
