Artistic Autoethnography in Human Resource Development: Deepening Empathy and Affective Understanding to Forward Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice in the Workplace

Artistic ethnography is growing in prevalence across the social sciences and has been used to explore daily lived experiences with marginalization powerfully. This approach, however, has received very little attention in Adult Education and HRD literature. Artistic approaches to autoethnography engage with aesthetics, feelings, and embodied experiences while pushing researchers to consider ways they can work outside of standard social scientific prose style writing and numerical abstraction when creating representations of lived reality. Artistic approaches to autoethnography can enhance all areas of HRD research and practice but hold salience for critical HRD, as its leading proponents have called for an emphasis on “relating,” engagement with the affective domain of workplace injustice, and “radical vulnerability” as we work to imagine and create more just organizations. The purpose of this article is to explore how artistic autoethnography can advance the critical work of HRD by carving out a nurturing space where those living with the daily discomfort of marginalization can finally share their feelings and explore insights that stretch beyond the limitations of standard academic prose.

Analysis of reject pinhole hardfacing process for stellite alloy metal motorcycle engine valves

If businesses wish to compete in the industrial world, they must produce quality and process results. No matter how big or little, some goods will always fail to generate or be rejected in a production process. In this case, companies in the automobile sector have noticed an increase in the number of pinholes that have been returned during the past three months. The company established a maximum reject rate of 0.9% each month based on the rejected data; from May to July, the average reject rate was 0.23%. Finding the factors causing the surge in pinhole rejects that occurred between May and July is the aim of this investigation. The analysis showed that the increase in pinhole rejects was caused by a variety of variables, including machine, process, and human factors. Further examination disclosed alterations to the device's configuration and software, along with the operator's persistent incapacity to comprehend the process. As operations become less efficient, repair components build up in the manufacturing line area. As a result, an improvement plan is needed, which is put into action by giving operator training and rearranging the machine and its software according to process requirements. Operators with a greater understanding of the process yield better results and higher productivity. As a result, operator confidence will rise along with performance. It was discovered that after developments in the field of human resource development, the number of rejections had dropped. Before the repair was finished, the average reject from May to July 2023 was 0.23%; following the repair, the average reject from August to October 2023 was 0.09%

Restorative Quality Assessment of Academic - An Islamic Motivation for Circular Nation-Building

A circular nation-building initiative emphasising zero-dysfunctionality is an urgent step to restore national education. The nose-diving performance in the 2022 Programme for International Student Assessment, PISA 2022, is a wake-up call to power up the people manning the education sector. The study analysed and identified the alarming situations signalling the urgent need for rectification based on the empirical data acquired over 30 years. The analysis points to evidence of fake claims of performance in academia as the main hub of human resource development and the primary factor that shadows the loopholes of education quality. Springboarding from there, the study recommends steps for the betterment of the sector. Qualitative assessment of academic staff via restorative assessment (RES-Q) measure assimilating the functional from the dysfunctional academics is the identified first step. Functionality, in this regard, is defined by the functions aligned to the fulfilment of national needs. Local universities' declining popularity prompted RES-Q map construction for root cause-to-solution to uplift the education sector. Detailing educator assessment needs leads to RES-Q inquisitive analysis to detect and fix issues without derailing from the national strategic alignment (NSA). Deploying RES-Q today should empower educators and in turn, revive learners’ interests in tertiary education. Through the corrected cycle of critical mass, the reshuffling of academics based on their dominant strengths must be pursued. The talent appropriation strategy is commensurate with the gratefulness in Islamic morality that simultaneously forbids the waste of resources.

Theorising Later-Career as a Basis for Enhancing Inclusion and Extending Working Lives Through Human Resource Development

Population ageing in developed economies has prompted national level policies for extending working lives (EWL). However, these policies have typically failed to reduce age discrimination or premature workforce exit. Therefore, organisational policies for EWL are currently to the fore and human resource development (HRD) ‘activation’ policies are evaluated here. However, these policies are found to be of only limited effectiveness in ensuring social justice, equity, and inclusion in later-career and beyond. A Critical-HRD lens is adopted to show how the established HRD narrative of lifelong learning can inadvertently contribute to workers being disadvantaged in later-career. Social-constructionist identity theorising is developed to better understand later-career and to explain older-workers’ behaviour. The theorisation is then applied to discuss HRD interventions with potential for developing a positive sense-of-self among older-workers and retirees to thereby improve equity, inclusion, and social justice. Implications for HRD researchers and professionals and for HRD policy for EWLs are detailed.

LGBTQ+ Faculty Members' Perceptions of Diversity Policies and Practices in Higher Education

Problem The career development and professional growth of LGBTQ+ faculty members in higher education is an under researched topic in the field of human resource development (HRD); particularly as it relates to ways that exclusionary diversity policies and practices can hinder well-being and perpetuate marginalization of this group. While current diversity policies and practices in higher education acknowledge and address race and ethnicity, gender identity and sexuality have tended to receive far less attention. This issue is particularly problematic within the HRD career development paradigm. The reinforcement of cisheteronormativity leads to feelings of marginalization and exclusion among LGBTQ+ faculty members, highlighting systemic barriers that hinder their professional growth. Solution The purpose of this study was to explore six LGBTQ+ faculty members’ perceptions of diversity policies and practices at their respective institutions, investigating how the language and implementation of them contribute to a sense of marginalization and exclusion. The role of critical human resource development (CHRD) in challenging the social injustices emanating from exclusionary diversity policies and practices is discussed. Implications for positive career development outcomes from implementing and enforcing inclusive diversity policies and practices are highlighted. Stakeholders The stakeholders are higher education institutions (HEIs), human resource development (HRD) practitioners who may work with them, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) executives.

The powerful influence of connections: exploring the effects of wasta informal networks on human resource development in Kuwait

ABSTRACT This research examines the consequences of engaging with wasta while practicing fair and ethical human resource management (HRM) in organizations in Kuwait. Weak ties have been established to be a powerful positive force for job seekers in the Western world, but in the Middle Eastern context, powerful close connections known as wasta exert a crucial impact on the pursuit of employment. We explore the relationship between wasta, HRM, and human resource development (HRD) in Kuwait using social exchange theory. Based on 24 semi-structured interviews, the study determines that the outcomes identified with wasta in businesses are considerable. Due to its disruption of standard HRM practices, wasta not only influences access to employment but also impacts employees’ professional development and their entire performance throughout their time with an organization. By unpacking this powerful but previously seldom explored phenomenon, this study expands conceptual frameworks on social influence and personal connections in the workplace, particularly regarding wasta. Additionally, it provides recommendations for lessening the undesirable outcomes of wasta and improving employee and organizational evolution in the fair practice of HRM.
