“…Social entrepreneurship is the use of business strategies and processes to achieve positive social impact, with a potential but not necessary focus on revenue generation (Bacq & Janssen, 2011;Dees, 2007). Human resource development (HRD) is a multifaceted applied field (Garavan, 2023) aimed at promoting effective, ethical, and humanistic organizations, transformative and situational leadership, sustainable and socially responsible business practices, and an understanding of human development at various levels (Chalofsky, 2014). For HRD professionals, social entrepreneurship is a promising avenue for innovative research and practice.…”

Purpose The complex world in which we reside is calling for more critical approaches to address the precarity experienced by the most marginalized in social systems. However, human resource development (HRD) lacks empirical data to describe, define and project the objectives and future directions of Critical HRD in today’s turbulent and volatile times. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the historical and contemporary progression of Critical HRD, as described by nine of its most well-known scholars. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected through semistructured interviews, and a constructivist grounded theory coding approach was applied during analysis to identify themes and patterns. Findings The findings of this study highlight the persistent scholarship versus practice divide among Critical HRD scholars, suggesting that Critical HRD may merely be an academic undertaking and something not practiced within the public domain. The authors call for an evolution of Critical HRD toward more practice- and action-oriented approaches to scholarship and teaching so that meaningful changes can take place in actual organizations and workplaces. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study was the first to empirically show that there is a real research–practice gap, particularly among Critical HRD scholars. Critical HRD scholars need to take these findings seriously as an opportunity to reflect on how they can take Critical HRD to the next level beyond academic discourse.

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.
