New Zealand HRD practitioner competencies: application of the ASTD competency model
Article Abstract:
An analysis of the competencies requested of prospective New Zealand human resource development (HRD) practitioners by employers against the American Society of Training and Development's (ASTD) 1987 competency model indicates that employers look particularly for technical HRD abilities, followed by interpersonal skills. It was established that the ASTD competency model fails to take account of personal competencies, which can be seen as a key competency element. There is a need to establish whether competencies in general, and personal competencies in particular, are connected to any thorough competency analysis of the job concerned.

Career motivation measures: a test of convergent and discriminant validity
Article Abstract:
A revised career motivation scale is proposed which integrates items from two existing measures of career motivation. A study of Canadian professionals and managers replaced as a result of downsizing aimed to test the convergent and discriminant validity of existing measures. The study used structural models to assess convergent validity and measurement models to examine discriminant validity. The integrated career motivation scale which has been proposed includes career resilience items, career insight items and career identity items.
