Excellent human resource development prioritizes organizational performance development elements. Organizational performance in Malaysia’s public sector is a concept that still needs to be explored. To date, improvements to leadership quality in order to enhance employee competence is one of the areas of study that has become the focus of researchers in the field of human resource development. In fact, leadership quality is also influenced by a person’s self-resilience to changes – one such example is police officers’ competence in order to perform their duties well. This study aims to assess the relationship between self-resilience and the leadership qualities of police officers. The study involved the Royal Malaysia Police of the state of Selangor. The study which used a simple randomized quantitative method involved 105 respondents comprised of police officers and other members of the force. Findings of the study indicate highest positive relationships between leadership and competency, resilience and competency, and resilience and leadership, with r values between 0.791 to 0.864. However, the relationship between leadership quality based on education level and length of service (work experience) was not significant. This study shows that there are several elements in human resource development and performance management that can be improved by emphasizing on the leadership aspect in order to improve the competencies of police officers in Malaysia.

This research uses quantitative research, the aim is to determine the influence of human resource development, religiosity, on employee performance with job satisfaction as an intervening variable. In this study, data was collected by distributing questionnaires to 100 employees using a purposive sampling method to determine respondents' responses to existing variables. The analysis was performed using the method of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on partial least square (PLS). The results of the analysis show that human resource development has no effect on employee performance, religiosity has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Human resource development has a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction, religiosity has a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction, and job satisfaction variables have a positive and significant effect in moderating human resource development on employee performance and religiosity on employee performance. This means that the more often human resource development is given, the higher the employee's performance and the higher the employee's religiosity, the higher the employee's performance will be and will result in job satisfaction for employees at the Sharia Business Unit Bank in Palembang City.  Keywords: Human Resources Development, Religiosity, Employee Performance, and Job Satisfaction.  AbstrakPenelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian kuantitatif, tujuannya yaitu untuk mengetahui besarnya pengaruh pengembangan sumber daya manusia, religiusitas, terhadap kinerja karyawan  dengan kepuasan kerja sebagai variabel intervening.

Technology and people are present in all organizations. How they are managed and developed is essential to the competitive advantage of organizations. Understanding the dynamics of this relationship is an area that needs to be better understood within the Human Resource Development (HRD) field. This chapter will explore the extent that HRD philosophy addresses the relationship of people and technology. Comparing people and technology has been a debate since the industrial revolution occurred in America (Swanson, 1982; Swanson, & Torraco, 1994). Man and machine are as essential to organizational prosperity as air and water is to living; yet, it is not often researched and published in HRD literature (Githens, Dirani, Gitonga, and Teng, 2008). Could this be why HRD professionals do not have a seat at the proverbial table in corporate America? Are HRD professionals and researchers denying that there is a relationship between people and technology in organizations? Are HRD professionals and researchers limited by their beliefs concerning the comparison of people to technology?

Kandula's (2001) study on HRD practices and facilitators was re-examined to assess whether these constructs really measured practices and facilitators claimed by the author. Using the intermediate results of HRD practices and facilitators in matrix form, an attempt was made to establish the explanatory power of HRD facilitators vis-à-vis practices, besides attempting to isolate such practices and facilitating variables that maximally discriminate profit orientation of the company The reanalysis revealed that practices and facilitators' dimensions largely suffered from being non-specific and the dimension scores of both the measures overlapped with each other to such an extent that there is little chance to differentiate them as independent domains of human resource development. It was demonstrated that due to using non-discriminative and psychometrically inadequate dimensions of practices and facilitators besides using a single response per organization, the main findings turned out to be less significant The relationship with profit making orientation of the company also showing primarily non-significant results could be attributed to above reasons. A relatively short but conceptually distinct list of HRD practices (what is seen as action outcomes) and the facilitators (concerns for producing desired practices) are developed for further research in this area.

This study aims to determine the influence of employee promotions, upward downward communication, and work environment on employee job satisfaction. This research uses a quantitative approach using a survey method (questionnaire).Path analysis is used to analyse the data collected. The population in this study were all employees of PT. Holcim Indonesia, Tbk, who have a working period of 10 years and over, totalling 510 people spread across all plants in Indonesia. The number of samples taken in this study were 225 people who were randomly selected.The results showed that job satisfaction was directly influenced by employee promotions, upward downward communication, and work environment. The study also found that the work environment was influenced by employee promotion and upward downward communication. This study also found that job satisfaction is indirectly influenced by the promotion and upward downward communication through the work environment. Based on these findings it can be concluded that any changes that occur in employee job satisfaction are influenced by employee promotion, upward downward communication, and work environment. Therefore employee job satisfaction, employee promotions, upward downward communication, and work environment can be taken into consideration in making strategic planning for human resource development.
