Organizational Learning, Performance and Change: An Introduction to Strategic Human Resource Development

FROM THE PUBLISHER

In Organizational Learning, Performance, and Change, Jerry W. Gilley and Ann Maycunich present a complete and comprehensive introduction to the field of strategic HRD -- integrating principles and insights from the three major schools of thought and practice: learning, performance, and change. Drawing from the most current and classic literature, as well as their own pioneering research in the field, Gilley and Maycunich assess the strengths and weaknesses of each approach separately, then build a rigorous framework for enhancing human resource and organizational performance by combining the best of all three. This new model places all aspects of HRD in theoretical and practical context, examining such themes as designing learning environments, incorporating new human performance technology, developing internal consultants and coaches, launching change initiatives, and conducting evaluations.

From "action learning" to "the change process model," every concept is clearly defined and supported with examples and step-by-step guidelines for transforming concept into practice. At the same time, the book offers HRD professionals the tools to reinforce their integral role in the organization and enhance their credibility and influence with senior managers and front-line workers alike.

The definitive text on human resource development, Organizational Learning, Performance, and Change will become an essential resource for educators, students, HRD consultants, trainers, managers, and HRD professionals -- anyone committed to bringing out the best in people and organizations.
