Abstract

The HRD function has gained a lot of momentum in the last decade. An earlier survey conducted in 1984 indicated that a number of HRD sub-system were being initiated in Indian industry. A detailed questionnaire was developed covering 94 different activities or tasks the HRD staff or those in-charge could undertake in any organization. This questionnaire was administered to 61 HRD staff form public sector and private sector organizations. The questionnaire assessed how well each of the 94 activities/tasks are being performed as perceived by the respondents. Their assessment indicates there are more similarities than differences in the way the HRD function is being performed in both public and private sector organizations. The study also indicates that conducting human process research, mobilising unions and associations to play a role in HRD and effective monitoring of HRD implementation are perceived as being performed inadequately in these organizations. Overall, while HRD function has caught up, it has a long way to go to be near “excellence”.
