Towards Agentic HRD: Facilitating a Dialogue for Research Collaboration

Thursday, March 2, 2023
3:45 PM – 5:15 PM CST
Location: Wayzata Bay
Abstract: This session focuses on the potential use of Bandura’s (2001) social cognitive theory of human agency (SCTHA) as a meta-theory for human resource development (HRD) research and practice. This session will introduce SCTHA, its translated variations (e.g., Hope-Action Theory), and a recent theoretical model that complements the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model. The presenters will share their distinct research topics that fit under the model to facilitate brainstorming on the application of the model in diverse contexts. After the idea sharing, a roundtable discussion on the participants’ reactions, relevance to their own research, and future actions will be facilitated.
