EVOLUTION OF HRD IN
CHRONOLOGICAL SEQUENCE
1) THE COMMODITY CONCEPT :

Human resource was referred as a commodity to be bought and

sold. Wages were decided on the basis of demand and supply forces.
Government also did not care much about the work force at that time.
2) THE FACTOR OF PRODUCTION CONCEPT :
Labour is treated as any other factor of production, money,
material, land, etc.
3) THE GOODWILL CONCEPT :
Welfare measures like safety, first aid, lunch room, rest room, etc.
these measures proved to be a source of boosting up the morale of
workers, and enhancing their performance.

4) THE PATERNALISTIC CONCEPT:

Management must assume a fatherly and protective attitude towards employers.
Paternalism does not mean merely providing benefits but it signifies to satisfy
various needs of employees just as parents meet the requirements of the children.
5) THE HUMANITARIAN CONCEPT :
To improve the productivity, physical, social and psychological needs of workers
must be fulfilled.
6) THE HUMAN RESOURCE CONCEPT:
Employees are the most valuable assets of an organisation. There should be a
conscious effort to realize organizational goals by satisfying needs and aspirations of
employees.
7) THE EMERGING CONCEPT: HRD
Employees should be accepted as partners in the progress of a company. They
should have a feeling that the organisation is their own. To this end, managers must
offer better quality of working life and provide opportunities to people to exploit
their potential fully. There should be opportunities for self fulfilment in ones work.

To enhance economic development the state constructs roads, buildings bridges, dams, power houses, hospitals,
etc. to run these units doctors, engineers, scientist, teachers, are required. So if the state invests in a human
resource it pays dividend in response.

efficient use of resources (non-natural & natural) which will result in increase in economic production.

4) Entrepreneurship Increase:
Education, clean environment, good health, investment on the human resource, will all
have its positive effects. Job opportunities would be created in the country. And even
business environment will flourish in the state which creates many job opportunities.

assessed from Holy Quran, Chapter 23, Surah Zumar, verse-9 which says:-

illiterate can be alike"?

realized from the sayings of Quaid-e-Azam
