Fundamental Pattern of Human Resource Development: A Cognitive Neuroscience Approach

The heart of the organization is organizational resource management, and human resource development is of particular importance for today's competitive age. Many strategies have been prescribed for human resource development and various models, based on theories, have considered different dimensions for human resource development, but still, human resource development faces challenges due to the role of employees' understanding and decision in development. It is their self, their organization and their profession. Combining neuroscience with management and its influence on human resource practices can help to better understand how human resource development strategies are implemented. This research is of inductive-deductive type and has used the multi-grounded theory approach (Goldkuhl & Cronholm version) which is a combination of grounded theory and meta-synthesis approach. According to the multi-grounded theoretical approach, first 59 studies were selected from 453 related studies for meta-synthesis and the relevant codes were identified. The statistical population included all executive and academic experts familiar with the concept of human resource development and neuroscience. Sampling was done theoretically and then using 14 Semi-structured interviews in the form of multi-grounded theory, the final concepts and categories were extracted, which are the perceptual core of employees (including justice, ethics, creativity, motivation and trust), employees' performance body and Executive shell of human resource development process. The results confirmed that neuroscience can be used to promote the management and development of individuals more effectively and of course the application of neuroscience findings in human resource methods and processes is still in its infancy. However, it is a new perspective to continue research and implementation of human resource development.
