ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on how HRD professionals work with the organizational procedures and processes, to whom and for whom they are responsible, and the options available regarding how individuals interpret the nature of their work and their accountability for it. Responsibility is a life or work duty a person or organization is answerable for delivering. In the workplace, these responsibilities might consist of a list of principal duties an individual performs to fulfill their work contract. Accountability is a commitment to recognizing and acknowledging responsibilities and answering for the outcomes of actions, decisions, and mistakes. Identifying the different stakeholders in a learning process emphasizes that a range of individuals, representing a variety of roles and functions, are implicitly or explicitly invested in their own, in others, or in the organization’s development. A critical perspective of HRD includes the organization in the stakeholder group that holds responsibility.
