The first book to explain the value, purposes, methods, and processes of HRD research in clear, simple language, the Human Resource Development Research Handbook gives practitioners the tools they need to stay on the leading edge of the profession. Top researchers in the field demystify the research process so HRD practitioners can transform their practice to incorporate leading-edge research. Each chapter is written in straightforward language by a leading researcher. Real-world examples clearly show how research and theory are not just for academics, but are practical tools to solve everyday problems
