Abstract
Human relations may be viewed as “an open system in social relationships that cuts across lines of difference” (Millard, 1962, p. 230). Central to human relations are interactions among people as a condition for optimizing performance and productivity (Mayo, 2004). Although human resource development (HRD) can be traced to roots in human relations, HRD research has not advanced studies that explain how a breakdown in relationships caused by contentious and/or oppressive social problems (racism, sexism, ableism, heterosexism, etc.) can hinder performance goals. Millard (1962) further points out:
期刊介绍:
Advances in Developing Human Resources is a bi-monthly journal whose single issues explore and examine discrete topics. These single issues (or "back issues," once the subsequent issue is published) are available individually or in quantities for use in a classroom or training environment. Balancing practice, theory, and readability, each issue is devoted to important and timely topics related to the development of human resources. The content of the journal spans the realms of performance, learning, and integrity within an organizational context. Readable and relevant to practitioners, each issue is grounded in sound research and theory and edited by a top scholar in the field.
