Abstract
Human Resource Development (HRD) is a precondition of economic growth, political stability and social sustainability. HRD intervention may facilitate achieving high-performance standards at individual, organizational, national, and international echelon. The paper is designed to explore and catalog different dimensions and variables of HRD through a critical review of existing literature. Hence, the opinion of HRD experts was collected through focus group discussion and face to face interview to authenticate the explored variables of HRD. The study has explored different dimensions and variables of HRD with regard to inputs, objectives, interventions, outputs, outcomes, and beneficiaries of HRD comprehensively by using the scoping review technique. The study has contributed to the existing body of knowledge by providing a new definition of HRD and presenting its different dimensions systematically. There is an immense scope to develop further knowledge on HRD if the empirical validity of the HRD variables is investigated comprehensively.

Summary
Human resource is the prime element behind all organizations, nations, and society's growth and prosperity. It is the only renewable and sustainable resource available to a nation and indisputably the first and the major precondition for individual success and collaborative development (Saeed & Batool, 2004). The concept of Human Resource Development (HRD) has been the most vital issue to shape development strategies worldwide (Bikas & Sanyal, 1992). It has become an ideology of transforming humans into productive production input. HRD endeavors to develop human potentials through several interventions to meet organizational objectives like productivity & profitability and, at the same time, facilitates achieving national strategic needs like the welfare of people and socio-economic mobility
