Such popularity creates its own problems for those looking to ‘take an identity perspective’ on their research as what might appear a unified field is in actuality a diverse array of semi-distinct theoretical stances. Each has its own distinct voice and an often opaque set of linguistic norms and conventions that suggest different interpretations of where identity ‘is’ and the process, by which it is formed and shaped, regulate what can and cannot be said. The purpose of this workshop is to provide an informed introduction to four social constructionist fields of identity research, namely; social identity theory, discourse, identity work, and sensemaking perspectives. We will examine the ways in which identity is conceptualised in each of these fields and the key terms associated with each. By expl...

However, the answer becomes less certain when one seeks to understand how the individual changes through HRD activities and how these changes in turn shape what they do and how others respond to them. Such concerns are of central interest to the study of identity, a field that sees the question of who someone ‘is’, and indeed is not, as an important contributor to the personal and interpersonal dynamics of organizational life. Many of those engaged in identity scholarship would readily declare themselves to understand identity as a socially constructed phenomenon. Beyond this, however, contrasting research traditions adopt different positions on what constitutes an identity, where it emanates from, and how it might be known. Such variety means identity offers a potentially fruitful series of frameworks for exploring the nature, as well as the effect, of HRD on the individual and the workplace. Unlocking this potentia...

Using semi‐structured interviews with trainers in public and private sector organizations, considers the assumptions and tactics that trainers use to enhance their influence. Shows that, at a rudimentary level of service, attendant approaches to build credibility with line management locks training into a subservient position. Likewise, while shared threats can close some of the status gap between training and line management, alliance tactics are insufficient to improve the general status of trainers. High status training is not achieved by a progressive passage through a common sequence of mobility stages. It develops from a supportive training culture where trainers develop new ways to assess their organizational contribution on conventional performance criteria and from charismatic trainers innovating training knowledge. Continually reinventing their contribution, however, means that high status remains conditional.

HRM is seen, like business strategy, as a meeting ground between established disciplines. HRM research to date is then assessed in this light and problems of the potential limitation ofcontributions of other relevant disciplines are assessed. The established findings in organizational development (OD) have, it is argued, been particularly neglected in HRM analyses of organization change. The importance of developing pluralistic HRM research is re-affirmed. HRM as a pluralistic forum
