ECONOMIC FOUNDATION OF HRD

Economics is the study of

how scarce resources are optimally

utilized

how these scarce resources are allocated.

It consists of certain concepts of efficiency

which could help in designing a framework

for ensuring maximum societal well-being.

Thus, economics is considered to be the

theory of Human Behavior.

PSYCHOLOGICAL FOUNDATION OF HRD

Human considerations such as adapting with the dynamic changes of time, The working environment should be so congenial that the employees working there should feel relaxed and satisfied.

SYSTEMS FOUNDATIONS OF HRD

Systems theory was founded by Ludwig von Bertalanffy, William Ross Ashby and others in the mid of 1940s-1970s

on the principles from the fields of physics, biology and engineering later on included further fields of philosophy, sociology, organizational theory, management and economics among others.

It sees the world in terms of ‘systems’ where each system is a ‘whole’ system.

Page 12: Hrd concept

Cont… In the organizational context, HRD is a sub-system and a system

of its own because human resources are the prime movers of all other physical resources and transform those input resources into valuable output in the form of product and/or services.

An organization is the composition of various agents, customers, suppliers, government, competitors and distributors and several approaches followed in the organizations. Goal approach, Resource Based Approach and Internal Process approach to achieve the organizational goals on a continuous basis.
