“…Within this body of work in HRD-related literature listed in Table 1, Swanson (2008) described the relationship of a principal and agent to help initiate the groundwork for research by HRD professionals of agency behavior and nonagency behaviors. Following were proposals for using the utility of agency theory to explain training and development outcomes (Azevedo & Akdere, 2008, 2010, 2011; Li & Huang, 2011). The empirical studies conducted and published within the HRD-related literature identified in this review described the limitations of their studies to application to the case and sample studied due to the sample size or specificity of the participants and respondents (Alammar & Pauleen, 2015; Blakeley & Higgs, 2014; Glick, 2011; Liu, Valenti, & Chen, 2016; O’Reilly, Doerr, Caldwell, & Chatman, 2014; Petrescu & Simmons, 2008; Rusaw & Rusaw, 2008; Singh, 2003).…”

The Problem Agency theory has been empirically studied in other fields of study such as economics, political science, sociology, and management. Although a proposal for inclusion of agency theory to test training and development outcomes was made in human resource development (HRD)-related publications, little research has been conducted and published in HRD-related literature. The Solution This review of agency theory offers a description of the elements and factors associated with the principal–agent relationship that have been theorized and empirically tested in other fields of study. Much of the theoretical implications are transferable to HRD. The principal–agent relationship should be empirically tested in HRD situations and interpreted through an HRD lens. The Stakeholders The review of the principal–agent relationship in other fields is expected to benefit HRD researchers, practitioners, principals, and agents in organizations by providing insight into the orientation, elements, and influence of principal–agent relationships.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to obtain greater insights into the implications for human resource development (HRD) in times of economic development, with a focus on China–Pakistan economic corridor (CPEC). In recent times of economic development, a number of economic corridors have emerged globally as tools of regional cooperation and development. In the context of Pakistan, there is a lack of appropriate attention to the field of HRD, which has suffered neglect through the decades (Abbasi and Burdey, 2008; Asrar-ul-Haq, 2015). With this conception, the present economic interventions merit a well-constructed and proper HRD policy for Pakistan. This study will provide HRD insights for policymakers, researchers, entrepreneurs and business executives. Design/methodology/approach The research approach of this study is purely based on literature review and on secondary data. Findings Based on the facts and literature reviews, this study concluded that One belt, One Road in general and CPEC in particular as an economic corridor can bring sustainable and long-lasting impact on the economy only if HRD is given proper attention. Originality/value To the best knowledge of the researchers, this is the first study that highlighted the HRD issue in CPEC.
