This study reviews the Emerging System Theory and focuses on General System Theory(GST) for Human Resource Development (HRD). The study also examines the General System Theory and its application in providing policy formation guidance as related to HRD.
The study begins with the retrieval of the existing literature on the GST and a look into the policy makibg for the development of the human resources. The retrieval shows that GST works to be an effectiveness of the GST and it influences related to scientific policy making in social science fields.
Particularly, GST is used as a scientific approach for successful policy making in various situations that are related to HRD. The policy for HRD can achieve its goals when it fully encompasses critical elements, including the demands and supports and performance of HRD. The study perceives the elements are changed, according to their own system and how they interact in policy making. So the study finds that the GST could play a large role in monitoring, analyzing and diagnosing each system and their related functions.
These systematic approaches in policy making can promote effective policy making for human resources development. However, this study also admits that the GST has excessive generality, so many that it has limitations in the ability to explain and describe specific situations. Finallym this study suggests that the enduring patterns of GST can help support and overcome its perceived limitations.
